Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the accused under Section 15 of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985, for possession of 480 kgs of poppy husk. The Court found that the trial court had sufficient evidence to establish the prima facie case against the accused, despite their claims of false implication due to police enmity. The appeal by the State of Punjab was allowed, affirming the sentences imposed by the trial court.
