2014 (6) TMI 646 - SC - CustomsConviction under NDPS - Non compliance with mandatory grounds of Section 50 - Held that:- Lot of difference between different statements given by the accused - The witnesses produced by the defence are discarded because of various infirmities found in their testimonies which are discussed in detail by the trial court as well as the High Court. - apart from sentencing the appellants for 10 years R.I., a fine of Rs.1,00,000/- (Rupees one lakh) each is also imposed on the appellants. The trial court has further stated that in default of payment of fine, the appellants shall undergo further sentence of 2 = years R.I. We feel that this part of order needs modification. Payment of fine of Rupees one lakh is maintained. However, at the same time we direct that in case of default of payment of fine, the appellant shall undergo further sentence for one year. - Decided against assessee.
