A special court in Palampur sentenced Sunil Katoch, alias Lucky, to nine months in jail and a Rs 30,000 penalty in an NDPS Act case.
The conviction stemmed from a March 4, 2021 arrest. Authorities discovered 130 grams of charas in Katoch's car during a routine check. The police registered a case after confiscating the substance and launching an investigation.
The court found Katoch guilty after both sides argued their cases. The testimony of independent witnesses who supported the recovery was critical to the outcome.
The case illustrates the importance of impartial witnesses in establishing instances of unlawful possession and trafficking.
