| Court rejects bail of narco smuggler | | | EARLY TIMES REPORT
JAMMU, Sept 8: Additional Sessions Judge Kathua Kamlesh Pandit rejected the bail application of one Mohd Imran Khan who was facing trial in NDPS Case. According to the police case that accused person is involved in case under FIR No. 64/2019 for commission of offences under sections 8/15/29 NDPS Act for carrying bukki(poopy straw) to the tune of 470 kg which is much much beyond even the commercial quantity as notified under NDPS Act .
Additional Sessions Judge Kathua Kamlesh Pandit after hearing both the sides observed that court is conscious about the precious right to liberty of the accused person, but at the same time the action of the accused person is also to be taken into consideration while balancing between individual interest and the public interest. The illegal trafficking and trade in Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic substances has posed potential threat to the whole society as it is eating the very vitals of the society and the menace of traffickers is spreading its tentacles to every nook and corner of the U.T of Jammu & Kashmir cannot be ignored when the recovery of contraband is on the higher side. The release of accused person at this stage will definitely have its adverse affect on the trial. The drug traffickers like accused person are spreading the addiction of Narcotics & Psychotrpic substances among the human race especially youth section of society making them slaves of the same, who when become addicts not only spoil their lives but also ruin the lives of their family members. Therefore, the release of such accused person at this stage will not meet the ends of justice. Consequently in the facts and circumstances of the instant case, the apprehension of the prosecution appears to be reasonable that once the accused person is admitted to bail, he will not debar himself from tampering with evidence, repeating the offence and hindering the further trial in the case also. With these observations Court rejected the bail application. JNF |
