Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court allowed the appeal of Dayalu Kashyap against his conviction under the NDPS Act for carrying Ganja. The court noted that the appellant had already served a significant portion of his sentence and faced undue hardship due to his inability to pay the imposed fine. Consequently, the court set aside the conviction and ordered his release, emphasizing the need for fair treatment under the law.
