    Court Decision Summary The court acquitted all three accused (Ramana, Nivas, and Rajesh) of charges under Section 8(c) r/w 20(b)(ii)(B) of the NDPS Act 1985 for alleged possession of 1.2 kg ganja. The court found that the prosecution failed to prove its case beyond reasonable doubt due to critical procedural failures: the raiding officer did not properly comply with Section 42(2) of the NDPS Act (mandatory prior intimation to superior officer lacked proper acknowledgment), and the alleged green bag containing ganja was never seized under the seizure mahazar, creating fatal evidentiary gaps.
