casestatus.in Summary

Summary of Criminal Appeal No. 1389 of 2003 State of Punjab v. Babu Singh (Heard: 08/04/2009) The Supreme Court dismissed Punjab's appeal against Babu Singh's acquittal in a drug possession case from 1985. The High Court had reversed Singh's conviction (6 months rigorous imprisonment + Rs. 500 fine) for carrying 2.5 kg opium and 25 kg poppy husk, finding the search violated procedural requirements—specifically, no independent witness was present despite the arrest occurring on a busy thoroughfare. The Court upheld the dismissal, noting 24 years had elapsed, procedural defects existed, and the case was unsuitable for Article 136 jurisdiction.
