State Of Punjab vs Teja Singh

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's judgment which raised doubts regarding the recovery and custody of opium, specifically noting discrepancies in seal impressions ('HS' vs 'GS') and the involvement of police officers from different jurisdictions. The Court found that mala fides against the investigating officer, Harinder Singh Chahal, were established, leading to the conclusion that the prosecution's case was undermined. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's findings.
