Petitioner is accused of customs (NDPS) case no. 107/2007. As per allegation in the F.I.R., two motorcycles were found abandoned carrying commercial quantity of Nepali ‘ganja’. Petitioner claims one of the motorcycles. In terms of Section 60 of the Narcotic Drugs & Psychotropic Substances Act (hereinafter referred to as the ‘Act’) the authorities are entitle to confiscate/seized carrier of the contraband goods/articles. The claim of the petitioner for release has been considered and rejected by learned Sessions Judge considering the fact that the petitioner has not been able to prove his innocence as also the fact that he had no knowledge about possible misuse of the motorcycle. Learned Sessions Judge has found that possible precaution also appears to have not been taken by the petitioner in order to seek the relief. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the Union of India states that witnesses have deposed clearly implicating the vehicle in question in the offence being the carrier of Nepali ‘ganja’ over 25 Kgs. Having regard to the submissions made at the Bar and after going through the impugned order, this Court is satisfied that the order impugned does not call for any interference. It is, accordingly, dismissed. Sym ( Kishore K. Mandal, J.)
