    Summary The High Court of Chhattisgarh upheld the conviction of Ghanshyam Manjhi under Section 20(b)(ii)(B) of the NDPS Act for possessing 8 kg of cannabis, finding the investigation properly complied with statutory procedures and forensic reports confirmed the seized material was genuine. However, the court reduced his jail sentence from 7 years to the 3 years already undergone, while maintaining the ₹50,000 fine with an additional 1-year imprisonment if unpaid.
