ABDUL SATTAR ALIAS BHINDI Vs. STATE OF RAJASTHAN

JUDGEMENT

(1.) Order taking cognizance under the provisions of Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985 (for short the Act) has been called in question by the accused-petitioner by filing the instant petition.

(2.) Mr. S. P. Tyagi, learned Counsel canvassed that only evidence against the petitioner is the confessional statement of co-accused which is not at all a legal or substantive evidence and is inadmissible. Reliance was placed on Kishan Singh v. State of Rajasthan, 1995 Cr LR (Raj) 176 : (1995 Cri LJ 2027). Mr. Poddar learned Public Prosecutor supported the impugned order.

(3.) I have reflected over the rival submissions and carefully scanned the impugned order.
