Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the validity of Section 32-A of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985, which prohibits the suspension, remission, or commutation of sentences awarded under the Act. The Court affirmed the High Court's ruling that the provisions of the Punjab Jail Manual govern remission, not Article 161 of the Constitution. The Court concluded that the legislative restriction is constitutional and does not violate Articles 14 and 21, thereby denying the appellants' request for remission.
