Case Summary: Crl.A. No. 001221/2017 Outcome: The Supreme Court allowed the appeal and set aside the conviction. Taxi driver Shankar Dongarisaheb Bhosale, convicted under the NDPS Act for 20kg of ganja found in his vehicle, was acquitted after serving 7+ years. The Court found no evidence linking him to the contraband—no incriminating material was seized from his person, he didn't attempt to flee, and the drugs belonged to passengers who fled the scene. Next Steps: Bail bonds and sureties discharged; all pending applications disposed of. The case concluded on 09-01-2025.
