Chargesheet--NDPS--Filing of Supplementary Chargesheet Permissible at Advanced Stage of Trial Where Based on Further Investigation Disclosing Fresh Material on Illegally Acquired Properties
Filing of supplementary chargesheet under Section 173(8) CrPC is permissible even at an advanced stage of trial where it is based on further investigation disclosing fresh material relating to offences under Sections 68F and 68E of the NDPS Act concerning illegally acquired properties. Forfeiture proceedings under Chapter V-A of the NDPS Act are independent, regulatory in nature, and can run parallel to criminal prosecution without prejudicing the defence of the accused.
