While rejecting bail application, Additional Sessions Judge Kathua Kamlesh Pandit observed that 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 UT of Jammu & Kashmir which cannot be ignored. The release of accused persons at this stage will definitely have its adverse affect on the investigation. The drug traffickers like accused persons are spreading the addiction of Narcotics & Psychotropic substances among 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 persons at this stage will not meet the ends of justice. The sequester of above discussion is that the contraband allegedly recovered from the possession of accused in the present case is of commercial quantity and the accused is not entitled to the liberty of bail in view of rigor of section 37 of NDPS Act. Consequently the instant application being bereft of any merit is dismissed. JNF
