In Brief
Mohammed Fasrin was convicted along with three others by the District and Session Judge for offences under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substance Act, 1985, including financing and smuggling. The Supreme Court held that the evidence against him consisted solely of uncorroborated confession from a co-accused, which is weak evidence requiring corroboration. No physical or corroborative evidence was produced to support the charges. The Court set aside both the District Court and appellate court convictions, finding the evidence insufficient to prove the essential ingredients of the offence, and granted bail to the appellant.",
