Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the detention of Sushanta Kumar Banik under the Prevention of Illicit Traffic in Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1988. The court found that the High Court's rejection of the writ petition challenging the legality of the detention order was justified, as the authorities had followed due process in issuing the detention order. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, affirming the validity of the detention.
