Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court overturned the High Court's conviction of Jeet Ram under the NDPS Act, emphasizing the lack of credible evidence linking him to the possession of narcotics. The Court highlighted the importance of establishing a clear chain of custody and the reliability of witness testimonies in drug-related cases. Ultimately, the appeal was allowed, and the conviction was set aside, reinforcing the principle of 'innocent until proven guilty'.
