Central Bureau Of Narcotics vs Bahadur Singh

The Supreme Court upheld the Rajasthan High Court's acquittal of Bahadur Singh under Section 8/18 of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985, emphasizing the lack of reliable evidence. The Court noted that all independent witnesses had resiled from their statements, and the official witnesses provided discrepant accounts, undermining the prosecution's case. Furthermore, the Court found violations of Sections 42 and 57 of the Act, leading to the conclusion that the conviction was not sustainable.
