    The High Court of Chhattisgarh dismissed the State's appeal against the acquittal of Abhimanyu Yadav in a narcotic drugs case. The court upheld the trial court's findings that the ganja was not recovered from the respondent's exclusive possession (recovered from a common verandah shared with family members) and that the prosecution failed to properly follow chain of custody procedures under Section 55 of the NDPS Act 1985, including unsealed sample packets and discrepancies regarding sample seals. The court found no infirmity in the acquittal judgment. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
