    The Orissa High Court dismissed two criminal appeals challenging drug trafficking convictions under the NDPS Act. The court upheld the trial court's conviction of Chhotu @ Sk. Jamir and Prabhat @ Pravat Kumar Sethi for possessing brown sugar, affirming their 10-year rigorous imprisonment sentences and ₹1,00,000 fines each, finding proper compliance with procedural safeguards and rejecting arguments about Section 42(2) non-compliance since the seizure occurred in a public place.
