Case Summary: CRA/724/2024 - Shani Jaiswal v. State of Chhattisgarh The High Court of Chhattisgarh affirmed Shani Jaiswal's conviction for possessing 15 kg of ganja under NDPS Act Section 20(b)(ii)(B), but reduced his 7-year sentence to time already served (2 years 9 months 3 days). The court applied a reformative approach, considering that Jaiswal—a vegetable vendor with only 5th-class education and no criminal record—had already spent significant time in custody. The ₹25,000 fine remained unchanged, and Jaiswal was ordered released immediately. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
