Versus

• State Of Chhattisgarh ---- Respondent _________________________________________________________ For Appellant : Ms. Usha Chandraker, Advocate.

For Respondent/State : Shri O.P. Sahu, Govt. Adv.

Hon'ble Shri Justice Arvind Singh Chandel Judgment On Board 04.11.2017

1. The Appellant has been convicted under Section 20 (b) (i) of the Narcotics Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985 (for short 'the NDPS Act') and sentenced with R.I. for one year six month and with fine of Rs. 2000/- with default stipulation.

2. A certificate of incarceration sent by the Jail Superintendent, Central Jail, Jagdalpur would mention that the appellant has undergone the entire jail sentence imposed upon him by the Trial Court and already released from the Central Jail on 28.09.2002.

3. I have heard Learned Counsel appearing for the Appellant.

She submitted that the Appellant has been falsely implicated in the case.

4. I have also heard learned counsel appearing for the State and perused the record to assess the correctness of the impugned judgment of conviction.

5. The Appellant has allegedly been found in possession of 2.400 Kgs of illicit Ganja. The case of the prosecution is based on the statement of Sub-Inspector R. Tigga (PW-2). He has fully supported the case of the prosecution and firmly stood by the contents of the FIR and other relevant documents. His statement is duly corroborated by Mohan (PW-3) also. Mandatory provisions of the NDPS Act have also been duly complied with.

6. Considering the material available on record, I do not find any merit in this appeal.

7. Consequently, the appeal deserves to be and is hereby dismissed.
