Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 8C read with Section 20(b)(ii)(c) of the Narcotics Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985 for possession of 48 Kgs 200 gms of cannabis. The Court found that the presumption of ownership based on the voters list was sufficient to establish the appellant's liability, despite his claims of having sold the property. The Court emphasized the importance of conscious possession in drug-related offenses, ultimately affirming the lower court's decision.
