State vs Krishan Kumar Advocate - Vinod Kumar Danewa — 60/2023

Court Judgment Summary Court: Special Court (Drugs & Cosmetics Act), Churu, Rajasthan Decision: The accused Krishna Kumar was acquitted of charges under the Drugs & Cosmetics Act, 1940 (Sections 18C read with 27(B)(II), 18A read with 28, and 22(1)(cca) read with 22(3)). Key Reasoning: The court found multiple procedural and evidentiary deficiencies undermining the prosecution's case: the original complaint was not produced on record; independent witnesses were absent; the informant had commercial rivalry with the accused; only 3 of 58 seized drugs were sampled and tested; and documentary evidence showed alterations and cutting marks. These cumulative factors prevented the prosecution from proving the charges beyond reasonable doubt. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
