In Brief
Surinder Kumar was convicted under Section 18 of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985, and sentenced accordingly. His appeal to the High Court was dismissed, leading to this Supreme Court appeal challenging the conviction on grounds of incomplete evidence. The Court examined the evidence and found: the Chemical Examiner's report showed the sample was received with intact seals that tallied properly; an ASP was present during the search and seizure; and the sentence complied with legal provisions. The Court dismissed the appeal, finding sufficient evidence and proper procedure.
