Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Section 29 of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985, affirming the lower court's decision that they were involved in abetting the possession of heroin. The Court found sufficient evidence of their association with the primary accused in the drug trade, leading to a sentence of ten years rigorous imprisonment and a fine of Rs. 1,00,000 each. The judgment reinforces the principle that abetment in drug-related offenses is punishable under the NDPS Act.
