“However, coming to the question of sentence we note that it
has been conceded by learned A.A.G. that petitioner is a
previous non-convict and there is no other instance of
petitioner’s involvement in drug trafficking. It has also been brought in evidence that at the time of this arrest he met
custodial violence and on that account he received injuries.
Perhaps those who arrested him wanted to extract confession
for his alleged involvement with some other narcotic dealer. In
these circumstances petitioner needs to be given a chance in his
life to rehabilitate himself.”
