JAMMU, Nov 17: Principal Sessions Judge Reasi Kamlesh Pandit has rejected the bail application of Ashesh Kumar, who was booked under NDPS Act after being arrested with psychotropic substances.
After hearing both the sides, the court observed, “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 UT of Jammu & Kashmir which cannot be ignored and also when investigation is still in progress”.
“The release of accused person at this stage will definitely have its adverse affect on the investigation as the quantity of contraband involved in this case is of enormous ratio. The drug traffickers like accused person are spreading the addiction of narcotics and psychotropic substances among the youth therefore the release of the accused person at this stage will not meet the ends of justice”, the court said.
With these observations, court rejected bail application.
