During search, 4 kilograms of charas was recovered from the possession of Ashok Kumar, two kgs from Deepak Kumar and 4.5 kgs from the dickey of vehicle, which was being driven by the accused Mohd Amin.
After hearing BS Soodan appearing for the petitioner whereas Public Prosecutor Ch Shabir for the State, Principal Sessions Judge observed, “drug trafficking is a serious phenomenon and carries dangerous social dimensions. The youth get attracted to drugs and this spoils their lives. It is not enough to launch anti drug drive. More important is educating the society against the effects of drug addiction”.
“Since drugs generate huge monies, it leads to imbalance of social equilibrium and gives rise to vast economic disparity. The Government will need to intensify its anti drug operation mechanism and bust the mafia and its networks”, the Court said, adding “there is the need of inter-state collaboration for controlling the menace”.
With these observations, Court rejected the bail application.
