JUSTICE RAJIVE BHALLA Present: Mr. R.S.Malhotra, Advocate for the petitioners RAJIVE BHALLA, J (Oral). Crl. Misc. No.57573 of 2008 Prayer in this application for condonation of delay of 216 days in filing the revision petition. For the reasons stated in the application, Crl. Mis. application is allowed and the delay of 216 days in filing the revision petition is condoned. Criminal Revision No.2665 of 2008 Prayer in this petition filed under Section 401 of the Code of Criminal Procedure is for setting aside the order dated 05.02.2008, passed by the Additional Sessions Judge, Amritsar, framing charge against the petitioners under the N.D.P.S.Act. Admittedly, the following drugs were seized from the petitioners' possession. i) 7 packets Capsule Doxophin Betch No,MC6-052. ii) Proxyvon capsules Betch No.10050 Criminal Revision No.2665 of 2008 -2- iii) Spasmo cip Plus Betch No.SP6011 and Spasmo cip Plus Betch No.SP6016 iv) Capsule PROXYVON Betch No.DF10421. v) Capsule Proxyvon betch No.95042 vi) Capsule paravon spas Betch No.J1370 Paravon spas betch no.J1595 vii) 10 Bottle Rexy of cough syrup 100 ML each and 4 bottle Corex cough syrup 50 ML each. The petitioners claim that his sister Anjanbir Kaur is a licencee holding a valid licence for the aforementioned drugs and as the petitioners were merely transporting the drugs when they were apprehended by the police, the charge framed against them be quashed, or the matter be forwarded to a Committee comprising of Chief Secretary, Advocate General and Director General of Police, Punjab. I have heard counsel for the petitioners and perused the paper book as also the order framing charge. The drugs recovered from the petitioners more often than not are supplied, by unscrupulous chemists, to drug addicts, without prescription. The drugs recovered are pain killers and cough syrup and are used by drug addicts, particularly in schools and colleges. When the petitioners were apprehended, they were not carrying any documents of purchase or any authority to sell. The petitioners' defence that they are working with a chemist, would be considered by the trial Court, during the course of trial. As the order framing charge does not suffer from any error, the present petition is dismissed. January 14, 2009 (RAJIVE BHALLA) nt JUDGE
