    The court acquitted accused Arunkumar of charges under NDPS Act Section 8(c) r/w 20(b)(ii)(A), finding reasonable doubt in the prosecution's case. The judge noted critical gaps in evidence, particularly the absence of independent witnesses during the drug seizure and lack of corroboration that the 150 grams of cannabis was actually recovered from the accused rather than planted by police.
