    Case Summary The High Court of Orissa affirmed the conviction of Asish Kumar under Section 20(b)(ii)(C) of the NDPS Act, finding he possessed 45 kg of contraband ganja with full knowledge while driving a vehicle. The court rejected procedural objections regarding the missing brass seal and Section 50 compliance, holding that conscious possession was established through witness testimony, the massive quantity transported, and his inability to explain possession of a blacklisted vehicle. The 10-year rigorous imprisonment sentence with ₹1,00,000 fine was confirmed. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
