It is also contended on behalf of the petitioner that the contents of the alleged drug recovered from him have been analysed and found to be legally permissible. The respondents, however, are disputing the petitioner's contention and it is averred that the petitioner is not authorized to sell the drugs allegedly recovered from him. Crl.Misc.No.64810-M of 2006 -2- It is further pointed out that after presentation of challan, charges have already been framed against the petitioner and the trial proceedings are going on. In this view of the matter and having regard to the fact that the disputed questions of fact are involved in this case, this petition is disposed of with liberty to the petitioner to raise all the pleas before the learned Special Court at an appropriate stage and the same shall be gone into in accordance with law.
