Abbas Khan vs Central Bureau Of Narcotics

The Supreme Court held that the appellants were convicted under Section 18(b) of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985, but the evidence presented was insufficient to prove the quantity of contraband involved, which is essential for a conviction of a serious nature. The Court found that while the admissions made under Section 67 were valid, they did not establish the dealing with a commercial quantity of narcotics. Consequently, the sentence already served was deemed sufficient, and the fine was waived, leading to the release of the appellants.
