3. I have herd Mr. V.K. Chaudhary, learned counsel for the petitioner. Mr. Chaudhary has submitted that in fact all the drugs, which are stated to have been recovered from the petitioner are in fact the manufactured drugs and, therefore, do not fall within the ambit of the N.D.P.S. Act. Mr. Chaudhary relies upon Deep Kumar v. State of Punjab, 1997(2) RCR(Crl.) 417 also Ashok Kumar v. State of Punjab, 1999(2) RCR(Crl.) 245 (P&H) (Crl. Revn.

No. 19267-M of 1996), decided on July 19, 2002.
4. After hearing learned counsel for the parties, I find that the submissions of Mr. V.K. Chaudhary are well merited and are fully supported by the law laid down by the aforesaid judgements. In fact the entire case against the petitioner has been set up on the basis that he was in possession of the drugs as mentioned above. The said drugs are manufactured drugs and are not covered under the provisions of N.D.P.S. Act.
In this view of the matter, relying upon the aforesaid judgments, I hereby quash F.I.R. No. 83 dated June 19, 1997 against the petitioner.
With the above observations, the petition is disposed of.
