Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 15 of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985, affirming the ten-year imprisonment and a fine of Rs. 1,00,000 imposed by the lower courts. The Court found that the prosecution had established the appellant's guilt beyond reasonable doubt despite the hostile testimony of independent witnesses, emphasizing that compliance with Section 50 of the NDPS Act was adequately demonstrated. The appeal was dismissed, confirming the lower courts' concurrent findings.
