    Case Summary: CRMP /1066/2026 Decision: The High Court of Chhattisgarh dismissed Kishore Sahu's petition seeking to quash the FIR, chargesheet, and criminal proceedings in an NDPS drug trafficking case. The court found that the FIR clearly discloses a cognizable offence supported by confessional statements of co-accused persons, and the allegations constitute a prima facie case under the NDPS Act when taken at face value. Key Reasoning: Applying the *Bhajan Lal* guidelines, the court held that FIRs can only be quashed when allegations do not prima facie constitute any offence. The court rejected the petitioner's arguments that charges were vague and uncorroborated, noting that confessional statements—while not sole evidence—support the investigation in conspiracy cases, and the absence of direct witness testimony does not negate a prima facie case. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
