Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 27A(i) and 27A(ii) of the Drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1940, for violations related to drug regulations. However, the Court reduced the sentence from one year to the period already undergone, which was approximately twenty days, thereby allowing the appeal in part. The Court emphasized that the ends of justice would be served by this reduction, and the appellant was discharged from bail obligations.
