Siddiqui, J.<\/p>\n<p>1.<br \/>\n     This appeal is directed against the judgment and order dated 10.8.1993 passed  by the Additional Sessions Judge, Delhi in Sessions Case  No.500\/93 convicting the appellant under Section 18 of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic  Substances  Act, 1985 (for short &#8220;the Act&#8221;) and sentencing  him  to undergo rigorous imprisonment for ten years and to pay a fine of rupees one default to suffer further rigorous imprisonment for two years.\n<\/p>\n<p> 2.   Briefly  stated, the prosecution case is that on 10.6.1990,  a  police party,  led by Sub-Inspector Brijendra (PW-8), upon  information  received, apprehended  the appellant at Khas Road. The appellant was found holding  a bag  in his hand. He was given the option (Ex.PW-5\/A) of being searched  by Sub-Inspector  Brijender (PW-8) before a Gazetted Officer or a  Magistrate. The  appellant declined the offer. He was then searched in the presence  of the  Vijay Kumar (PW-5), Inspector O.P. Sharma (PW-6) and SI  Sehdev  Singh (PW-7) and the bag he was carrying was found to contain 1.200 kilograms  of opium.  The appellant was charged with an offence punishable under  Section 18 of the Act and tried.\n<\/p>\n<p>3.   The appellant abjured his guilt and alleged that a false case has been foisted on him. The evidence of the prosecution was accepted and the appellant was convicted and sentenced as indicated above. The point for determination  in  this  appeal is whether on 10.6.90, the  contraband  opium  was recovered from the appellant&#8217;s possession in accordance with the provisions of Section 50 of the Act. It is significant to mention that keeping in view the severity of the punishment provided under the Act, Courts dealing  with the offences under the Act should be very careful to see that it is  established  to  their satisfaction that the contraband was recovered  from  the possession of an accused in accordance with the provisions of Section 50 of the Act.\n<\/p>\n<p>4.   The  evidence  of the prosecution pertaining to the  recovery  of  the contraband  revolves around the testimony of Vijay Kumar (PW-5),  Inspector O.P. Sharma (PW-6), SI Sehdev Singh (PW-7) and SI Brijender (PW-8). In  has come in the evidence of Sub-Inspector Brijender (PW-8) that on 10.6.96,  he received a secret information that a person with opium in his possession is on way from Mot Road to Jama Masjid via Khas Road and the said  information was recorded in the daily diary (Ex.PW-2\/A). The SHI, P.S. Kotwali was also informed in writing (Ex.PW-8\/A) and a raiding party was organized. At about 2.40  P.M.,  SHO O.P. Sharma (PW-6) also come to the spot  and  joined  the raiding  party. At about 2.55. P.M., the appellant was apprehended  at  the Khas Road. He was given the option of (Ex.PW-5\/A) of being searched by Sub-Inspector  Brijender (PW-8) before a Gazetted Officer or a  Magistrate  but the  appellant declined the said offer. Thereafter, he took search  of  the appellant  and  recovered 1.200 Kilograms of opium.  From  the  appellant&#8217;s possession  vide  seizure memo (Ex.PW-5\/B). A sample of 200  grams  of  the contraband opium was drawn. The sample as well as the remaining opium  were converted into separate parcels and they were duly sealed on the spot. CFSL form  was  also duly filled up. After completing the said  formalities,  he sent the rukka (Ex. PW-3\/A) to the police station on the basis of which FIR (Ex. PW-3\/B) was registered at the police station Kotwali. It has also come in  the evidence of SI Brijender (PW-8) that the sealed parcels along  with the CFSL form were handed over to SHO O.P. Sharma (PW-6) for being deposited in the Mal Khana. Panch witness Vijay Kumar (PW-5), SHO O.P. Sharma (PW-6)  and Sub-Inspector Sehdev Singh (PW-7) have supported the  testimony  of Sub-Inspector Brijender (PW-8).\n<\/p>\n<p>5.   It needs to be highlighted that the rukka (Ex.PW-3\/) prepared by  Sub-Inspector  Brijender (PW-8) on the spot, reveals that the alleged  recovery of  the contraband was made at 2 P.M. and the rukka was sent to the  police station  at 4.30 P.M. The FIR (Ex.PW-3\/B) shows that it was  registered  at 4.35  P.M.  Surprisingly, the intimation (Ex.PW-\/A) sent to  the  SHO  O.P. Sharma (PW-6) containing the secret information received by the Sub-Inspector  Brijender (PW-8), notice under Section 50 of the Act  (Ex.PW-5\/A)  alleged  to have been served on the appellant before taking his  search.  The seizure  memo (Ex.PW-5\/B) and the appellant&#8217;s search memo (Ex.PW-5\/C)  bear the number of the FIR (Ex.PW-3\/B). The number of the FIR (Ex.PW-3\/B)  given on  the  top of the aforesaid documents is in the same ink and in  the  sae handwriting, which clearly, indicates that these documents were prepared at the same time. The prosecution has not received any explanation  whatsoever as  to under what circumstances number of the FIR (Ex.PW-3\/B) had  appeared on the top of the aforesaid documents.\n<\/p>\n<p>6.   This gives rise to two inferences that either the FIR (Ex.PW-3\/B)  was registered  prior  to  the receipt of the secret  information  and  alleged recovery  of  the  contraband or number of the FIR was  inserted  in  these document  after  its  registration. In both the  situations,  is  seriously reflects upon the veracity of the prosecution version given by Vijay  Kumar (PW-5),  Inspector O.P. Sharma (PW-6), SI Sehdev Singh (PW-7) and  SI  Brijender  (PW-8) and creates a good deal of doubt about-recovery of the  contraband in the manner alleged by the prosecution. Thus the benefit  arising out of such a situation must necessarily go to the appellant.\n<\/p>\n<p>7.   Although SHO O.P. Sharma (PW-6) and Head Constable (PW-1) deposed that on 10.6.90, the case property was deposited in the Mal Khana, but they have no where stated that CFSL form was also deposited along with the contraband articles.  In  the entry (Ex.PW-1\/A) proved from the  Mal  Khana  Register, there  is no mention that the CFSL form was also deposited along  with  the sealed packets. Thus, in the instant case, there is not an iota of evidence to  show  as to where the CFSL form containing the specimen seals  had  remained till the sampled contraband was dispatched to the CFSL,  Chandigarh. Thus,  there is absolutely no link between the seizure with all  the  safe-guards  against  tampering of the contraband articles till the  sample  was sent for Chemical analysis. Needless to add that the provisions of the  Act are  so  stringent that it cast a duty on the prosecution to rule  out  any possibility  of  tampering of the sample and false implication of  the  accused.  It must be borne in mind that severer the punishment,  the  greater care  has to be taken to see all the safeguards provided in a  statute  are scrupulously  followed. The learned Additional Sessions Judge did not  take notice of the aforesaid infirmities in the prosecution case and unjustifiably accepted the prosecution evidence. Consequently, the impugned order  of conviction and sentence cannot be sustained in law.\n<\/p>\n<p>8.   In  the result, the appeal is allowed . The judgment and the order  of conviction and sentence is set aside and the appellant is acquitted of  the offence  charged under Section 18 of the Act. The appellant is in  custody, he be set at liberty immediately, if not wanted in any other cause. Fine if paid shall be refunded to the appellant.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Delhi High Court Ramesh Prakash vs State on 14 October, 1999 Equivalent citations: 1999 VIAD Delhi 536, 82 (1999) DLT 431, 1999 (51) DRJ 599 Author: M Siddiqui Bench: M Siddiqui ORDER M.S.A.
