Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court examined an appeal arising from a conviction under the NDPS Act, where four persons were found in possession of a commercial quantity of heroin. The trial court convicted them, and their appeal was pending before the High Court, which dismissed the appeal as abated against one accused who died. The Court's decision focused on the legality of the seizure, evidence, and the conviction under the NDPS Act, reaffirming the importance of strict compliance with procedural and evidentiary requirements in narcotics cases.
