Case History
Summary The Supreme Court granted special leave and allowed Liyakat's appeal against his NDPS Act conviction on August 10, 2009. The Court set aside the fine and default imprisonment portions of his sentence, noting that an intervening amendment to Section 20 of the NDPS Act (post-dating the High Court's judgment) would have imposed only six months' maximum imprisonment; since the appellant had already served 10 years and 6 months, the Court directed his immediate release. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
