Ashok @ Dangra Jaiswal vs State Of M.P

The Supreme Court examined the conviction of the appellant under Sections 8/21(b) of the Narcotics Drugs & Psychotropic Substance Act, 1985, where the trial court's reliance on the testimony of the Station House Officer was scrutinized due to the absence of support from independent witnesses. The Court found that the prosecution failed to establish the chain of custody and the credibility of the evidence presented, leading to the conclusion that the conviction could not be sustained. Consequently, the Court overturned the conviction and acquitted the appellant.
