Learned counsel for the petitioner has contended that the petitioner is a social worker having good reputation in the society and has been falsely implicated in the present case. Respondent No.7 (brother of the complainant), who has high profile links with the drug paddlers in the State of Punjab, has falsely implicated the petitioner in the present case, in connivance with the police officials. The petitioner has nothing to do with the offence in question. Despite moving several representations to the higher authorities, no action has been taken to ensure fair and impartial inquiry.
