Court denies bail to Narco Smugglers | | | EARLY TIMES REPORT Jammu, November-04 (JNF):- Principal Sessions Judge Jammu Jang Bhadur Singh Jamwal today dismissed the bail applications of Shabir Ahmed Mir S/O Lt. Mohd Yousaf Mir, Iftikhar Ahangar S/O Abdul Aziz Ahangar both residents of Seer Hamdan Tehsil & District Anantnag who were arrested by the police on October 5, 2011 and recovered Charas 3 KG from them. Principal Sessions Judge Jammu Jang Bhadur Singh Jamwal after hearing advocates Rohit Verma and JA Mirza for the petitioners and Public Prosecutor Shabir Choudhary for the state, observed that the weight of the charas is 3.00 kilograms recovered from the possession of petitioners which is a commercial quantity and the rigors of Section 37 NDPS Act stands attracted for bail being taken. There is no good ground made out for allowance of the application. The plea raised by the PP that there is likelihood that in case the petitioners are released on bail, there is possibility that they will tamper with the prosecution evidence and may not be available during the trial. Narcotic peddling has assumed serious dimensions in the State. Reports of seizing drugs from peddlers are coming in one after another. The drug mafia has spread its tentacles in many states and beyond the borders of the State. Some of the peddlers have a history and their record is maintained any anti-narcotic branch of the police. Some of the known peddlers were jailed also but it is amusing that they have been freed and have taken back to drug trafficking. This raises a serious question about the efficacy of anti-drug laws. Either the laws are flawed or that the enforcement cadres are conniving at the entire affair. 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. There is the need of inter-state collaboration for controlling the menace. With these observations Court rejected the bail application of both the petitioners.
