JAMMU: Principal Sessions Judge Udhampur R.S Jain acquitted two accused namely Nazir and Joginder Singh from whose possession 226 Kg poppy straw was recovered, as prosecution failed to prove the point.
While acquitting them, Principal Sessions Judge Udhampur R.S Jain observed that investigations are being carried out either by inefficient officers backed by poor supervision or are being deliberately shaped to ensure that the trial ultimately ends in the acquittal of the accused otherwise, there is no way that cases of NDPS can end in acquittal. Despite the enforcement/implementation of NDPS Act for the last 2 to 3 decades, the investigations and supervision are poorly handled that it won’t be long before this State too becomes a haven for drug users though mercifully the narco-politico angle is yet to come to light in the State.
