    Summary: The Chhattisgarh High Court affirmed Sundar Singh's conviction under Sections 15(b) and 18(b) of the NDPS Act for possessing 6 kg of poppy straw and 1.59 kg of opium, finding the trial court's conviction properly reasoned and based on sound evidence. However, the court partially allowed the appeal and reduced his imprisonment sentence to the period already undergone (5 months and 8 days), considering his critical medical condition (Stage-5 chronic kidney disease requiring transplant), clean criminal record, youth, and prolonged litigation since 2020, while affirming the fine of Rs. 60,000 with default provisions. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
