Shiv Dan Singh) On 9 July 2001, the Supreme Court allowed the State of U.P.'s appeal and quashed the High Court of Allahabad's order that had quashed NDPS Act proceedings against Shiv Dan Singh. The High Court had improperly quashed the trial by appreciating evidence of 706 kg of charas (valued at Rs. 7.06 crores) seized by Customs Officers. The trial court was directed to proceed with the case uninfluenced by the High Court's observations, while permitting the accused to raise all contentions including challenges to statements recorded under Section 108 of the Customs Act.
