Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the convictions under Section 21 read with Section 8(c) and Section 29 of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985, affirming the trial court's finding that the appellants were involved in the delivery of contraband substances. The Court emphasized the sufficiency of evidence collected during the raid, including the seizure of 2kg and 30 grams of suspected narcotics, and the procedural compliance in the sampling and sealing process. The appeals were dismissed, confirming the ten-year rigorous imprisonment sentence and the imposed fines.
