| Decision |
The Lahore High Court dismissed the bail petitions of the petitioners, Abdul Wasay and Muhammad Sajid, due to the possession of a large quantity of Ephedrine, a controlled substance, without any valid license or permit. The court found that the allegations against the petitioners were serious, and their contention that they were falsely implicated by a pharmaceutical company owner was not substantiated by evidence. The court emphasized that keeping Ephedrine in possession without lawful permission constitutes a violation of the Control of Narcotic Substances Act, which is punishable under the law. The petitioners' claims of being set up were deemed unconvincing, and with the substantial evidence of drug possession against them, the court concluded that there were no grounds for granting bail. |
| Summary |
In the case of Criminal Miscellaneous Nos. 39/B and 58-B of 2012, the Lahore High Court ruled on the bail petitions filed by petitioners Abdul Wasay and Muhammad Sajid, who were charged under the Control of Narcotic Substances Act for possession of 25 kilograms of Ephedrine, a controlled substance. The court reviewed the evidence presented, including the lack of a valid license for the possession of the narcotics and the circumstances surrounding their arrest. The petitioners claimed they were framed by the owner of a pharmaceutical company, asserting that he had conspired against them to evade his own liabilities. However, the court found their defense unsubstantiated and highlighted the serious nature of the charges against them. Given the significant quantity of the controlled substance involved and the absence of any lawful authorization for its possession, the court concluded that the petitioners posed a risk of absconding and therefore denied their request for bail. This case underscores the strict enforcement of narcotics laws and the legal consequences of involvement with controlled substances. |
