Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 8 read with Section 15(c) of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985, affirming the reliance on the statement made by the appellant under Section 67 of the NDPS Act. The Court found that the statement was sufficient evidence for conviction despite the appellant's claims of it being fabricated and lacking witness signatures. The High Court's confirmation of the Sessions Judge's decision was deemed justified, leading to the dismissal of the appeal.
