Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 20 of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985, affirming the High Court's dismissal of the appeal. The Court found that the prosecution had established the recovery of 2 kg and 100 gm of Charas from the appellant, which was conducted in accordance with legal procedures. The Court held that the evidence presented was sufficient to sustain the conviction and the sentence of ten years rigorous imprisonment along with a fine was justified.
