Headnote | Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985 – s.55 – Contraband goods – Recovery of – Conviction of respondents- accused under s.20 and sentence of 10 years rigorous imprisonment – Acquittal by High Court – State’s appeal against acquittal on the ground that High Court gave greater importance to trivial discrepancies in the prosecution case and without assigning any plausible reason allowed the appeals of accused – Held: The discrepancies in the prosecution case highlighted were the evidence of DW-1 that on the fateful day, police officials asked him to load gunny bags lying outside the abandoned house; the evidence of independent witnesses to the effect that they were not present at the spot when the incident took place and that they were called to police station and their signatures were taken on some papers – These discrepancies were major in character – The evidence is lacking support to establish that the contraband was really recovered from the possession of the accused in the manner alleged by the prosecution on the said date and time – In view of number of discrepancies in the prosecution case coupled with the contradictory statements by prosecution witnesses, the prosecution story appeared doubt – Prosecution having failed to establish the commission of alleged offence by the accused beyond reasonable doubt, accused- respondents are granted benefit of doubt – Interference with the order of acquittal not called for. |
