    Judgment

    Case Summary: State of Bihar v. Mithun Kumar (NDPS Case No. 67/2023) Court Decision: Acquitted Judge: Shashi Kant Ojha, Additional Sessions Judge-I, Gaya Date of Judgment: 08-05-2026 The accused, Mithun Kumar, was charged under Sections 18, 20, and 22 of the NDPS Act based on allegations that he was involved in purchasing and selling opium. The prosecution failed to establish a convincing case against the accused. Critical evidentiary gaps included inconsistencies regarding when the alleged drug (5.250 kg of opium) was seized, inconsistencies in the timing of the FIR, incomplete chain of custody documentation, and the fact that the seized contraband was recovered from a motorcycle not registered in the accused's name. The court found the prosecution's case riddled with reasonable doubts and acquitted the accused. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
