casestatus.in Summary

The Supreme Court dismissed Khet Singh's appeal challenging his conviction under the NDPS Act for opium possession. Though the seizure mahazar was irregularly prepared at the customs office rather than at the recovery spot, the Court held that procedural deviations do not automatically render evidence inadmissible; it must assess whether serious prejudice occurred. Since the accused was present throughout and no evidence was tampered with, the conviction stood. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
