Arif Khan @ Agha Khan vs The State Of Uttarakhand

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 20 of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985, for possession of 2.5 kg of 'Charas'. The Court found that the prosecution had established the case beyond reasonable doubt, as the accused voluntarily consented to the search and was informed of his legal rights. The appeal against the High Court's dismissal of the appellant's appeal was rejected, affirming the sentence of 10 years rigorous imprisonment and a fine of Rs.1,00,000.
