Orders
Summary The Chhattisgarh High Court affirmed the conviction of Umakant Kosale under Section 20(b)(ii)(B) of the NDPS Act for possessing 6 kg of marijuana, finding the prosecution's evidence reliable and NDPS procedural safeguards substantially complied with. However, the court reduced his 5-year sentence to the period already undergone (approximately 3 years 10 months) considering his young age, clean record, long incarceration period, and 11 years elapsed since the 2015 incident, while maintaining the Rs. 10,000 fine.
