MD. RAHIM ALI @ ABDUR RAHIM VS THE STATE OF ASSAM
2024 INSC 511
Case Summary
[NDPS Act]
[Drug Trafficking]
FACTS
In the case Md. Rahim Ali @ Abdur Rahim vs The State of Assam (C.A. No. 7332/2024), the appellant, Md. Rahim Ali, was convicted for his alleged involvement in a criminal conspiracy under the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and other provisions, related to the trafficking of illegal drugs. The appellant challenged his conviction on the grounds of insufficient evidence and improper application of the law.
LEGALPROVISIONS
The case involves provisions under the Indian Penal Code (IPC), particularly sections related to conspiracy, criminal association, and trafficking (Section 120B, 307 IPC). The Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act (NDPS Act) is also relevant to the drug trafficking charges.
ISSUES
The key issue is whether the evidence against the appellant is sufficient to uphold the conviction for criminal conspiracy and trafficking under the IPC and the NDPS Act. The court must also decide whether the appellant’s rights were violated during the investigation and trial, especially with regard to due process and the standard of proof.
JUDGMENT
The judgment will likely focus on evaluating the sufficiency of evidence, the validity of the criminal conspiracy charge, and whether the procedural safeguards were followed in the investigation and trial. If the court finds that the evidence is insufficient or improperly obtained, it may lead to a reduction or reversal of the conviction.
