Final Orders / Judgements
Summary The Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate (Railway), Gorakhpur acquitted Mahesh Rai of charges under Sections 21/22 of the NDPS Act (possession of 230 contraband tablets found at Gorakhpur railway station on 05.10.2004) because the prosecution failed to present any witnesses despite multiple court opportunities over approximately 20 years of proceedings. The court emphasized that prolonged trial delays violate Article 21 of the Constitution and noted the absence of credible evidence to prove guilt beyond reasonable doubt. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
