ORDER<\/p>\n
K.S. Gupta, J. <\/p>\n
 1.     This  appeal by Rajan Ali is directed against the judgment  dated  3rd April  1993 convicting him under Section 18 of Narcotic Drugs  and  Psychotropic  Substances Act (for short ‘the Act’) and also the order  dated  8th April  1993 sentencing him to undergo RI for 10 years and pay fine  of  Rs. one  lac, passed by an Additional Session Judge. In default of  payment  of fine appellant was further to undergo RI for two years.\n<\/p>\n
 2.   Case of the prosecution as borne out from the chargesheet filed  under Section 173 Cr.P.C. is that SHO Dharam Pal Singh, PW-5 had information that some persons from UP supply opium in the jhuggies at Majnu-ka-tila and from there it was sold in retail to the drivers who park the trucks and buses in the nearby parking. ASI Bakhtawar Singh,PW-6 and Constable Hari Singh  were
\ndeputed by PW-5 to develop and verify the said information. On 28th January 1989  on  receipt  of information from an informer by PW-5  that  a  person having  opium  would come to the jhuggies, a raiding  party  consisting  of constables Hari Singh, Dharamvir Singh PW-3, Matwar Singh and ASI Bakhtawar Singh,  PW-6 under the supervision of PW-5 was organized at about  1.45  PM and  all of them alongwith the informer left in Government vehicle  No.DID-4672.  On the way Sawran Singh, Haridev Joshi, Karan Singh and Narain  Dass were asked to join the raiding party but they expressed their inability. In the meantime Charan Singh PW-4 met PW-5 and he on being informed about  the secret information agreed to join the raiding party. Around 2.30 PM members of  the raiding party took positions near the jhuggies opposite to  Punjabi Basti.  It is further alleged that at about 3.15 PM the informer told  that the  concerned person has come to the jhuggi with the opium. Thereupon  the
\nmembers  of  the raiding party rushed towards that jhuggi. Around  3.25  PM accused-appellant  came out of the jhuggi holding a bag of white colour  in his  right  hand and on seeing the police party he tried to run away  in  a gali behind the jhuggi. He was, however, overpowered at a distance of 10 to 12 paces. Appellant was given notice in writing under section 50 of the Act Ex.PW3\/A, and the contents thereof were also read over to him. He was  told that  if he so desired his search could be taken either before  a  Gazetted officer  or Magistrate. Appellant, however, declined to be searched in  the presence of either of them and in token of that denial his thumb impression was  obtained on Ex.PW3\/A, he being illiterate. On search of the  appellant by  ASI Bakhatawar Singh,PW-6 substance of black colour wrapped in  a  momi envelope  was found kept in the bag and on smelling it was suspected to  be
\nopium.  On weighing, opium was found to be 5 Kg 200 grams out of  which  50 grams was separated as sample. Sample and the remaining opium were converted  into  two parcels and sealed with the seal of BS of PW-6  .  PW-5  also affixed  his  seal  of DPS on both the parcels and those  were  taken  into possession vide memo Ex.PW3\/B and handed over to PW-5. CFSL form was filled up. Rukka Ex.PW1\/B was sent to the police station and on the basis  thereof FIR  (carbon  copy  EX.PW1\/A) was registered under section 18  of  the  Act against the appellant . Sample parcel was sent to CFSL for Chemical  analysis and as per the CFSL report representative sample gave positive test for morphine with approximate 9.7%.\n<\/p>\n
 3.   In the statement under section 311 Cr.P.C. plea taken by the appellant is of plain denial.\n<\/p>\n
 4.   To  bring home the charge against the appellant the prosecution  examined 6 witnesses in all.\n<\/p>\n
 5.   Having heard learned counsel for both the parties I am of the  opinion that this appeal deserves to be allowed on a short point that the  prosecution  has  failed  to produce the link evidence that the  CFSL  form  which allegedly  bore  the seals of BS and DPS which seal impressions  were  also affixed on the sample parcel,was not deposited alongwith the case  property in  the  malkhana nor was it sent together with the sample  parcel  to  the office  of  CFSL to enable the later to compare the said  seal  impressions with the impressions appearing on the sample parcel before doing the analysis.  On that point only the statements of ASI Bakhatawar Singh,  PW-6  Inspector Dharam Pal Singh, PW-5, HC Rajbir Singh, PW-2 and Constable Dharamvir Singh PW-3 are relevant.\n<\/p>\n
6.   PW-6  has,  inter-alia, deposed that the sample and the  rest  of  the opium  recovered were sealed in two packets with the seal of BS and  seized vide  memo Ex.PW-3\/B. SHO also affixed his seal of DPS thereon.  CFSL  farm was  filled  up  and seal impressions put on it.  SHO  deposited  the  case property  and  later on sample was sent to CFSL and report  Ex.PX  was  received. PW-5 has deposed that the sample and rest of the opium were kept in two  parcels and sealed with the seals of BS and DPS and seized  vide  memo Ex.PW3\/B .CFSL form was filled and impressions of seals affixed on it .  He deposited  the  case property in malkhana. PW-2 has deposed  that  on  28th January 1989 he was working as Malkhana moharer, PS Civil lines and on that date  PW-5  deposited two sealed parcels bearing the seals of  BS  and  DPS together  with  one bag of white colour. He made entry in the  register  at serial  No.1189 and the extract of that entry is Ex.PW2\/A . He has  further
\ndeposed that on 3rd February 1989 he sent the representative sample  parcel duly  sealed  to the office of CFSL through Constable Dharamvir  Singh  who after delivering the parcel in the office of CFSL handed over a receipt  to him.  PW-3 has, interalia, deposed that on 3rd February 1989 he  had  taken the  sample  parcel bearing the seals of BS and DPS and deposited  it  with CFSL but he did not remember the Road certificate number. English  translation  of  the  entry  made in the last column  against  serial  No.1189  in Ex.PW2\/A which is relevant reads thus:-\n<\/p>\n
       “Today on 3.2.89 one parcel containing opium bearing the seals of DPS and BS has been sent to CFSL, Lodhi Estate through  constable Dharamvir Singh No.1429 vide R.C.No.77\/21.”\n<\/p>\n
 7.   As  is  manifest from the depositions referred to above  of  inspector Dharam  Pal Singh, PW-5, ASI Bakhatawar Singh, PW-6, HC Rajbir Singh,  PW-2 and Constable Dharamvir Singh, PW-3 coupled with the said entry in Ex.PW2\/A neither the CFSL form was deposited in the malkhana nor sent alongwith  the sample  parcel to the office of CFSL. It is true that a line in the  cyclostyled report of the CFSL report Ex.PX does say that one sealed parcel  was received with the seals of BS and DPS as per specimen enclosed but in  view of the aforesaid evidence much significance cannot be attached to it as the
\nsame  appears to have been made in a mechanical and routine manner. In  the absence  of  the link evidence to the above effect the possibility  of  the sample  being tempered with cannot be ruled out altogether. I am  supported in  this view by the decisions of this court in Safiullah Vs. State  (Delhi Admn),  1993 JCC 33, Mool Chand Vs. State, 1993 JCC 234; Amarjit Singh  and another  Vs. State (Delhi Admn), 1995 JCC 91; Abdul Ghaffer Vs.  The  State (Delhi Admn),1996 JCC 497 and Berthe Djakaridja Vs. The state, 1998(1)  JCC (Delhi) 62. The view taken by the trial court that it was for the appellant to  have brought material on record to show that there was  tempering  with the  seals of the sample parcel being erroneous deserves to  be  discarded. Thus  the orders conviction and sentence passed by the  Additional  Session Judge require to be set aside.\n<\/p>\n
 8.   Consequently  the appeal is accepted,judgment and order  under  appeal are set aside and the appellant is acquitted of the charge under section 18
\nof the Act.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
