Head Note
The Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 - Section 250
NDPS - Compensation to Accused on Acquittal - Police while patrolling had noticed the accused persons and their behaviour at that time was suspicious - There is nothing on record to suggest that there was any lapse on the part of the seizing officer - Nothing has been brought by way of evidence to show that the prosecution had falsely implicated them - There is nothing to remotely suggest that there was any malice - High Court, as is noticed, has not applied its mind to the concept of grant of compensation to the accused persons in a case of present nature - There is no material whatsoever to show that the prosecution has deliberately roped in the accused persons - View expressed by the learned trial Judge is absolutely indefensible and the affirmance thereof by the High Court is wholly unsustainable - Order of the trial Judge granting compensation and that of the High Court giving stamp of approval to the same liable to be set aside.
