KALYAN SINGH Vs. STATE OF UTTARAKHAND

JUDGEMENT

(1.) Leave granted.

(2.) Insofar as the quantum of sentence is concerned, the submission of the learned Counsel is limited to the consequential sentence imposed by the Courts below, on account of non-payment of the amount of fine required to be deposited. Insofar as the instant aspect of the matter is concerned, learned Counsel for the Appellants, in the first instance, placed reliance on the decision rendered by this Court in Sasikumar and Anr. v. State of Kerala, 2013 11 SCC 680, and invited our attention to the following observations:

(3.) We have given our thoughtful consideration to the submissions advanced at the hands of the learned Counsel for the Appellants. We are of the view that no interference is called for insofar as the present controversy is concerned, on account of the admitted position that one of the Appellants was found with 7.600 kg of cannabis, whereas the other Appellant was found in possession of 4 kg of cannabis.
