The case involves two appellants, Selva Kumar a/l Supramaniam and Sundara Raj a/l Periasamy, charged with jointly trafficking 2917.41 grams of cannabis. The High Court convicted both, but the Court of Appeal allowed Selva Kumar's appeal, finding insufficient evidence to prove possession, while upholding Sundara Raj's conviction. The judgment discusses the legal principles of joint possession and proximity in drug cases.
