EARLY TIMES REPORT
JAMMU, Apr 22: Justice Sanjay Dhar while rejecting the bail application of Shakeel Ahmed Dar who was facing trial in NDPS case observed that the petitioner was in conscious possession of commercial quantity of manufactured drugs without any authorization. Therefore, by no stretch of imagination, it can be said, at this stage, that there are reasonable grounds for believing that the petitioner is not involved in the offence of being in possession of commercial quantity of manufactured drugs without authorization.
The record reveals that on 12.03.2019, the police intercepted two trucks bearing No.JK03H/1708 and JK04E/5197 at National Highway, Supwal.

The FIR in question came to be registered and investigation of the case was set into motion.
After conducting the investigation, charge-sheet was filed before the learned Trial Court. The Trial Court record reveals that vide order dated 12.10.2019 passed by the learned Trial Court charges for offences under Sections 8/21/22/25 NDPS Act stand framed against all the accused including the petitioner herein and trial of the case is going on. It appears that till date only one prosecution witness has been examined before the Trial Court. (JNF)
