The submission of learned counsel for the applicant is that the applicant has been falsely implicated in the present case due to ulterior motive. It is further submitted that the applicant did not commit any offence as alleged and he has no concerned with it. It is next contended that there are general allegations as the applicant was not arrested from the spot nor there is any independent witness of the alleged recovery.
