Both the seizure witnesses have stated about witnessing the recovery of the contraband from the vehicle bearing registration No. AS-09J-3090. 7.

I find from the record that vide order dated 15/10/2025, charge has already been framed against the petitioners and prosecution evidence has also started. 9.
