casestatus.in Summary

Case Summary: Amrik Singh v. State of Haryana Outcome: The Supreme Court dismissed Amrik Singh's criminal appeal on August 4, 2005, upholding his conviction and sentence under Section 15 of the NDPS Act, 1985. Singh was sentenced to 10 years rigorous imprisonment and a fine of ₹1 lakh (with 3 years additional imprisonment in default). Facts & Decision: Singh was found sitting on a trolley containing 27 gunny bags of poppy straw (approximately 1,080 kilos total) during a police patrol in July 1989. The trial court and High Court both convicted him based on circumstantial evidence—his presence in a vehicle with concealed contraband provided sufficient grounds to infer knowledge and possession under Section 35 of the NDPS Act. The Court rejected Singh's defense of being an innocent passenger, noting he provided no explanation for his presence and the suspicious circumstances justified the conviction.
