It includes only the flowering or fruiting tops of the cannabis plant. It clearly does not include seeds and leaves if they are not with these tops.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \n \n \n <p dir=\"ltr\"><span style=\"font-size:14pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Georgia,serif\">In this case, the prosecution argued that the total weight of the seized material should be considered to show it was a commercial quantity.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \n \n \n <p dir=\"ltr\"><span style=\"font-size:14pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Georgia,serif\">However, the Court noted that the seized material seemed to include leaves, stalks, and other parts of the plant that are not banned. This created doubt about whether the actual contraband met the requirement of commercial quantity.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \n \n \n <p dir=\"ltr\"><span style=\"font-size:14pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Georgia,serif\"><strong>Court&rsquo;s Observation<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \n \n \n <p dir=\"ltr\"><span style=\"font-size:14pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Georgia,serif\">The court said:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \n \n \n <p dir=\"ltr\"><span style=\"font-size:14pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Georgia,serif\">&ldquo;it is evident that the materials seized were not comprised only of &ldquo;flowering or fruiting tops&rdquo;, as the Seizure Memo itself refers to &lsquo;dried leaves and small branches&rsquo;. The weight of the contraband is 21.95 kilograms, which is only marginally in excess of the threshold for commercial quantity of ganja [20 kilograms and above].&rdquo;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \n \n \n <p dir=\"ltr\"><span style=\"font-size:14pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Georgia,serif\"><strong>Earlier Case Rule:<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \n \n \n <p dir=\"ltr\"><span style=\"font-size:14pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Georgia,serif\">The Court relied on Ravina Kumari v. the State (NCT of Delhi) (2024), where it had earlier explained &mdash;using a Venn diagram&mdash;that when the seized material is a mixed substance containing flowering buds or fruiting tops along with leaves, seeds, and stalks, the extra parts (like stalks and leaves) cannot be treated as part of the narcotic substance.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \n \n \n <p dir=\"ltr\"><span style=\"font-size:14pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Georgia,serif\"><strong>What Counts:<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \n \n \n <p dir=\"ltr\"><span style=\"font-size:14pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Georgia,serif\">Only the actual narcotic content, that is the flowering or fruiting tops, should be considered to decide whether the quantity is small or commercial.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \n \n \n <p dir=\"ltr\"><span style=\"font-size:14pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Georgia,serif\"><strong>Benefit of Doubt:<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \n \n \n <p dir=\"ltr\"><span style=\"font-size:14pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Georgia,serif\">Because there was uncertainty in the present case, the Court said that at the bail stage, this doubt should be decided in favour of the accused, especially since Section 37 of the NDPS Act has very strict conditions for cases involving commercial quantity.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \n \n \n <p dir=\"ltr\"><span style=\"font-size:14pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Georgia,serif\"><strong>Trial Needed:<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \n \n \n <p dir=\"ltr\"><span style=\"font-size:14pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Georgia,serif\">The Court also said that the exact composition and nature of the seized substance can only be properly examined during the trial.
