Sameer Khan moved Bombay High Court requesting to end the Drugs Case against him.
The son-in-law of State Cabinet Minister Nawab Malik, has filed a Petition before the High Court in which he requested the Court to end the Drugs Case filed against him by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) in January.
In the filed Petition, Khan mentioned that the chemical analysis of forensic tests as well as the recovery of contraband from his side was negative and that’s why he claims that this Criminal Case against him under Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act is not maintainable.
Khan, in his Petition also mentioned that the filed Case against him is frivolous, bogus, concocted and farcical, and hence it is subjected to be quashed.
It has also been mentioned that NCB carried out a raid after discovering that some parcel was being transferred from Universal Couriers and Cargo office to aboard, wherein NCB seized 70gm, 265gm and 3.5gm of ganja.
Following this, NCB arrested Khan after recording his statement under Section 27A of Illicit Trafficking of Drugs and Conspiracy under the NDPS Act.
However, according to Khan, the chemical analysis report stated that the recovery of contraband from Khan was Negative.
“Admittedly there is no recovery of contraband at theinstance of the petitioner or from his person and therefore the charge u/s. 20 (B)(2)(C)[possession of intermediary quantity of cannabis] is not made out,” stated the Petition.
Adding to this, he also mentioned that even the statement of NCB mentions at this point that the NCB recovered Drugs from co-Accused and that it was also for personal consumption.
Hence, Sameer Khan requested the Bombay High Court to quash the Drugs Case filed against him by NCB.
