💨 Abstract

Chief Justice of India Surya Kant emphasized the need for a firm legal response against drug traffickers while addressing a campaign on drug abuse in Goa. He distinguished between traffickers, who should face strict legal action, and first-time users or those struggling with dependency, who need treatment and social reintegration. Kant highlighted that the justice system should aim for reform and recovery rather than just punishment, especially for vulnerable individuals.
