CFSL seeks time to examine NDPS samples
Chandigarh, July 17 Taking up the matter, a Division Bench has, however, made it clear that it wants the situation to change. “The up-gradaing, manpower facility, etc. be so made available that the lab is able to cater to Chandigarh and other areas within its jurisdiction and ensure that the report is made available within the statutory period of 15 days.” The Division Bench of Chief Justice Sanjay Kishan Kaul and Justice Ajay Tewari ruled. The development is significant as the CFSL received approximately 4,000 cases, the previous year and examined 2,727 cases of all disciplines, including ones under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act from Himachal Pradesh, Punjab, Chandigarh, Uttarakhand, Delhi, Haryana and Jammu and Kashmir. The direction came after an affidavit was submitted to the High Court by the UT Additional Secretary (Home), along with a letter dated July 15. The Bench asserted the data given therein showed that approximately 20 cases under the NDPS Act were being received per month in the laboratory from the states under its jurisdiction; and the target to even clear the pending cases was December 31. “This would amount to saying that if a fresh case would come now, it would be processed in January, 2015, i.e., the hiatus period is of four-five months instead of the statutory period of 15 days. “It is also stated that up-grading of the lab by the concerned Ministry of Union of India is in the process and once the up-grading, adequate man power and machinery is available, the lab will be able to prepare the final report within the statutory period of 15 days under the NDPS Act for Chandigarh. However, this may itself not suffice because the cases received are beyond Chandigarh”. Disposing of the petition, the Bench fixed January 16 next year for the progress and compliance report in the matter.
