The Supreme Court overturned the conviction of a taxi driver accused under the NDPS Act for transporting 20kg of ganja, highlighting procedural lapses and lack of evidence. The Court emphasized that taxi drivers are not obligated to verify passenger details and noted the contraband was in plain sight, not hidden. Acquitting the driver, the Bench stated, “No material links the appellant to the contraband,” discharging his bail bonds after seven years in prison.
