casestatus.in Summary

Summary: The Supreme Court dismissed the State of Rajasthan's appeal against Shiv Nath Ram's acquittal in an NDPS Act case (Sections 17-18). Although the Sessions Court found him guilty of possessing opium recovered from a motorcycle and house, the High Court acquitted him, holding that the prosecution failed to satisfactorily prove ownership of either the motorcycle or the property. The Supreme Court upheld the acquittal, finding no perverse appreciation of evidence or serious miscarriage of justice warranting reversal. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
