Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court examined whether an offence under Section 8(c) of the NDPS Act could be established when an accused is alleged to have 'dealt with' psychotropic substances. The court analyzed the statutory language and the evidence required to prove such an offence. It emphasized the importance of establishing a direct link between the accused and the possession or dealing of the substances. The court ultimately clarified the scope of 'dealing with' in the context of psychotropic substances under the law.
