Govt. of Gujarat vs JAYESHBHAI NARANBHAI VANSH — 805/2026

The court convicted the accused, Jayeshbhai Naranbhai Vansh, under the Gujarat Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act-2016, sections 65(a) and 116(b), after the accused voluntarily confessed to the charges. Applying the principle that "special and adequate reasons" must exist to impose sentences below the statutory minimum, the court exercised leniency considering the accused's financial condition and potential for reform. The court sentenced the accused to a fine of ₹300, with one day's simple imprisonment as alternative punishment if the fine remains unpaid.
