Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to suspend the sentence of Lokesh Chadha, who was convicted under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act. The court noted that the respondent was the proprietor of a courier agency involved in the shipment of narcotics, but the Special Judge had granted him the benefit of doubt. The appeal by the State was dismissed, affirming the suspension of the sentence pending further proceedings.
