Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 21 of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985, affirming the High Court's dismissal of the appeal against the Special Judge's sentence of ten years rigorous imprisonment and a fine of Rs. 1,00,000. The Court found sufficient evidence of possession of 250 grams of heroin, establishing the appellant's guilt beyond reasonable doubt. The appeal was dismissed, and the conviction was maintained, reinforcing the stringent measures against drug offenses under the NDPS Act.
