ABSTRACT: The investigating authorities often make heinous offences like u/s Section 307
IPC, without taking into consideration the medical evidence, by taking advantage of the legal
loop-holes, causing undue harassment to the alleged accused while the medical evidence
plays a pivotal role in establishing such cases in a court of law. The authenticity of medical
opinion is discussed in this case wherein the offence u/s 307 IPC against the alleged accused
was ordered to be cancelled by the court keeping in view the simple nature of injuries from
medical evidence. KEY WORDS: Dangerous to life, Medical evidence.

Cannabis is illegal in India by law except in govt. authorized shops that sell Bhang (Bhang).
Bhang can refer either to the actual ground cannabis balls, or to the drink made by mixing it
in milk. All production and selling of Bhang has to be through govt. authorized shops.
The cannabis that is sold as Bhang but belongs to the Cannabis indica variety than Cannabis
sativa variety that is commonly used in cases where cannabis is smoked up. The indica
variety has lower THC content, and also Bhang is usually seen as a sleep inducer, or even
appetizer rather than a recreational drug.
Used during observance of certain Hindu rituals. Government-owned shops in holy cities
like Varanasi sell cannabis in the form of bhang. Despite the high prevalent usage, the law
makes it illegal to possess any form of the psychoactive. However, this law is rarely enforced
and treated as a low priority across India. Further, large tracts of cannabis grow unchecked
in the wild in many parts of northern and southern India in many states such as West Bengal,
Tripura, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Kerala, and Tamilnadu. Many states such as West

Bengal, Tripura, and the North East have their own laws allowing cannabis, locally known as
ganja.
Legality of cannabis by country
Coming to the punishment for the crime, for use of Cannabis it is 6 months of imprisonment
or/and Rs. 10,000 in fine, jail time may be waived if the offender opts for de-addiction
treatment.
The laws are covered by Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act
