Copy of Judgment

The Special Court under NDPS Act in Thanjavur acquitted Rajappa, who was charged with illegal possession of 1.250 kg of ganja under Section 20(i)(b) of the NDPS Act 1985, due to critical prosecution failures. The court found reasonable doubts regarding: (1) the seizure mahazar containing crime number and legal section before FIR registration, (2) lack of independent witnesses and patrol duty documentation, and (3) unexplained 13-day delay in producing seized properties to court without custody clarification. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
