JUDGMENT Sandeep Mehta, J. - Heard. Perused the material available on record. The applicant-appellant has been convicted for offences under Sections 8/15 and 8/25 of the NDPS Act by judgment dated 19.12.2018 passed by learned Special Judge, NDPS Act Cases, Bhilwara in Sessions Case No.60/2017. 2. Learned Public Prosecutor Shri Anees Bhurat has chosen not to file reply to the instant application for suspension of sentences and proposes to argue the matter orally. He has also placed on record the factual report of the SHO concerned as per which the applicant-appellant does not have any criminal antecedents. 3. As per the prosecution case, a consignment of poppy-straw weighing 344 kgs. & 900 grams was recovered from Pick Up (No. RJ 06 GB 5039) of which the applicant-appellant is said to be the registered owner. It is an admitted case of the prosecution that the appellant was not present in the vehicle when the seizure was made. Shri M.L. Bishnoi, Advocate drew the Court's attention to the following admission of the IO Baluram (PW.10) in his cross-examination :- and urged that the prosecution failed to bring any evidence on record so as to prove that the poppy-straw was being plied in the offending vehicle with the conscious knowledge or connivance of the appellant herein. He thus, urges that ex-facie both the offences i.e., Sections 8/15 and 8/25 of the NDPS Act are not prima facie made out against the appellant herein and implored the Court to accept the instant application for suspension of sentences and extend indulgence of bail to the applicant-appellant during the pendency of the appeal. 4. Per contra, learned Public Prosecutor vehemently and fervently opposed the submissions advanced by appellant's counsel. However, he too is not in a position to dispute the fact that the appellant was not found present in the offending vehicle of which he is the registered owner when the seizure was effected. It is also virtually an admitted position that no positive evidence was collected by the IO during investigation that the consignment of poppy-straw was being transported in the offending vehicle with the conscious knowledge or connivance of the appellant herein. 5. In this back ground, I am of the opinion that the applicantappellant has available to him strong grounds so as to challenge the impugned judgment of conviction. 5.
