State Of U.P vs tilok chandra — 2826/2023

Summary The court acquitted three accused persons (Trilok Chandra Goswami, Dyashankar alias Sonu Sharma, and Nitin Kumar) of charges under Section 8/20 of the NDPS Act, finding that the prosecution failed to prove the case beyond reasonable doubt. The court determined that critical procedural violations occurred—specifically, non-compliance with Sections 50 and 57 of the NDPS Act regarding arrest procedures and mandatory reporting requirements. Additionally, contradictions in witness testimony, inadequate documentation of the district magistrate's presence during search, and procedural irregularities rendered the recovery of seized cannabis materials and the arrests legally suspect and unreliable.
