Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 20(b)(ii)(B) of the NDPS Act for possession of 20 kg of Ganja. The court found that the appellant was duly informed of his rights under Section 50 of the NDPS Act and that the prosecution had established the case beyond reasonable doubt. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, affirming the lower court's judgment and sentence of five years rigorous imprisonment and a fine.
