Vivek Sood, senior lawyer, Delhi High Court, who has been a defense lawyer in many cases related to narcotics, said that In 2001, the NDPS Act was amended to distinguish quantities of drugs. Prior to 2001, there was no classification regarding the number of drugs. Let’s say before 2001 if I had 1gram of drugs I would be equated with someone who had 1000kg of drugs. There was no classification between the quantity which was found in possession of a person and it created a lot of difficulties. Consumers would be equated with traffickers.

Now you have a classification of quantities (as per NDPS Act), and punishment varies depending upon the quantities – whether it is a small quantity for consumption or commercial quantity for trafficking. The law differentiates between consumers and traffickers. The argument that consumers of drugs should only be treated as victims and should not be punished is about the legalization of drug consumption. In my view, they should be seen as quasi-victims and should be punished, otherwise, youngsters will go berserk with consumption.

Aryan Khan isn’t granted bail as the NCB has found discriminating evidence which points toward an international link, procuring drugs in bulk.
