IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE FOR RAJASTHAN AT JAIPUR BENCH, JAIPUR ORDER S.B.CIVIL WRIT PETITION NO.13283/2008 Sunil Kumar Meel Versus The State of Rajasthan and others Date of order ::: April 24, 2009 HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE PREM SHANKER ASOPA Mr.Mukesh Bijarnia, for the petitioner Mr.M.F.Beg, Dy. Govt. Counsel BY THE COURT Heard learned counsel for the parties. By this writ petition, the petitioner is seeking an appropriate writ, order or direction that the petitioner be allowed to join duty in pursuance of the appointment order dated 12.9.2008 which has been denied to him for the reason that the criminal appeal against his conviction in the criminal case for offence(s) under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act (N.D.P.S. Act) is pending. I have gone through record of the writ petition and considered the submission of counsel for the parties. Since the provisions of N.D.P.S. Act have been enacted to prevent social crime and the offences under the said Act are of heinous nature, hence of moral turpitude, I find no ground to interfere in the writ jurisdiction under Article 226 of the Constitution of India. The writ petition is dismissed. (PREM SHANKER ASOPA) J. गोpa ल
