VIJAY PANDEY V. STATE OF UTTAR PRADESH

SC-In a case relating to the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act,the Hon’ble SC while acquitting the appellant opined that the mere production of a laboratory report that the sample tested was narcotics cannot be conclusive proof by itself. The sample seized and that tested have to be co-related. The failure of the prosecution in the present case to relate the seized sample with that seized from the appellant makes the case no different from failure to produce the seized sample itself.-Hon'ble Justices Ashok Bhushan and Navin Sinha[30-07-2019]
