2000 (10) TMI 948 - SC - CustomsCharge for the offence under Sections 21 and 29 of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985 Held that:- Dealing with the case of appellant - Mehaboob we notice that Exhibit P-9 statement attributed to him does not contain any inculpatory statement which would involve him either in a conspiracy or in an abetment for the offences committed by other accused. The worst part in the statement - Exhibit P-9 is that he was informed that brown sugar could be supplied to him and he went to the house of A-2 in response to that. It is admitted by the prosecution that no brown sugar had been given to him pursuant to the said offer nor did appellant - Mehaboob part with any money as consideration thereof. Thus it is very difficult to convict appellant - A.K. Mehaboob (A3) on the strength of the statement contained in Exhibit P-9. We allow Criminal Appeal filed by A.K. Mehaboob (A3) and set aside the conviction and sentence passed on him by the High Court.
