GIAN CHAND vs STATE OF HARYANA

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Section 15 of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985, affirming the High Court's decision. The Court found that the prosecution had established the possession of 410 kg of poppy husk, despite the appellants' claims of false implication and lack of independent witnesses. The Court held that the absence of independent witnesses did not negate the evidence presented, and the conviction was justified based on the circumstances of the case.
