After hearing Advocates Ravinder Sharma and Prince Khanna for the applicant whereas Special PP Ajay Singh Manhas for the NCB, the court observed, “the allegation in the complaint is that petitioner is main kingpin of the whole inter-state drug racket and is the mastermind of the organized crime of drug trafficking”. Moreover, he was in constant touch with the accused driver Gurjit Singh not only telephonically but personally also”.
“The petitioner has criminal background and the offences alleged against him are against the society at large as the drug menace is rising at an alarming rate spoiling young children of the nation badly. These factors also make the petitioner disentitle to bail apart from rider of Section 37 of the NDPS Act which is applicable to his case”, the court said.
