Ram Singh vs Central Bureau Of Narcotics

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 8 read with Section 18 of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, affirming the admissibility of confessional statements made to the Central Bureau of Narcotics. The Court ruled that the confessions were voluntary and corroborated by the recovery of opium, thus establishing possession and intent to sell. The sentence of ten years rigorous imprisonment and a fine of Rs. 1 lakh was deemed appropriate, with the High Court's affirmation of the conviction upheld.
