EARLY TIMES REPORT
JAMMU, Apr 30: Additional Sessions Judge Kathua Kamlesh Pandita rejected the bail application of one Gagu Din from whose possession Rajbagh Police recovered 7 grams heroine and a pistol and registered a case against him.
As per the police report on 09-04-2021, the accused person was found in possession of about 7 grams of heroin while driving on his motorcycle bearing registration no. PB07BE-1026 and coming from Punjab side towards Sohtra Chack naka point and was also found in possession of air pistol. On these facts, case under FIR No.42/2021 came to be registered against the accused person u/s 8/21/22 NDPS Act, read with section 3/25 Arms Act and was detained. Investigation in the case as per police report is in progress to go further to the roots of the case.
Additional Sessions Judge Kathua after hearing both the sides observed that the 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 release of the accused person at this stage will definitely have its adverse effect on the trial. The drug traffickers like accused person are spreading the addiction of Narcotics & Psychotropic substances among the human race especially the 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 investigation/trial in the case also. The accused /applicant herein appears to be a chronic and habitual offender not only in the indigenous state but outside also which shows his tentacles and criminal mind, therefore it is the responsibility of the courts to prevent the society when such facts are palpable.
