Copy of Judgment

The Special Court under the NDPS Act in Thanjavur acquitted Rajendran of charges under Section 20(i)(b) of the NDPS Act 1985 for alleged possession of 1.250 kg of ganja. The court found critical evidentiary gaps: the seizure mahazar contained crime number and legal section details before the FIR was registered, no independent witnesses were examined, and seized properties showed a 16-day delay before court production without custody explanation. These procedural irregularities created reasonable doubt, leading to acquittal. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
