MOHAMMED FASRIN vs THE STATE REP. BY THE THE INTELLIGENCE OFFICER — Crl.A. No. 296/2014

Summary: Mohammed Fasrin v. State (Crl.A. 296/2014) The Supreme Court allowed Mohammed Fasrin's appeal, setting aside his conviction by both the Trial Court (2005) and High Court (2008) for NDPS Act violations including financing illicit drug trafficking under Section 27A. The Court found insufficient evidence linking the appellant to the offense, noting that the only evidence consisted of a co-accused's hearsay statement and the appellant's custodial confession, neither supported by corroborating evidence. Key intermediaries named in the allegations were never examined or charged. The Court held the evidence inadequate for conviction and discharged the appellant's bail bonds.
