This writ petition has been filed praying for the following reliefs:-
"(i) Issue a writ order or direction in the nature of certiorari quashing the summon dated 27.05.2021 issued by the respondent no.3 in the exercise of his power under section 67 of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act 1985 in connection with NCBF No. NCB/LZ4/III/INV/SEIZ/13/2021/402 (Annexure no.2) to the writ petition.
(ii) Issue a writ order or direction in the nature of mandamus commanding/directing the respondents not to arrest the petitioner in pursuance of the summon dated 27.05.2021 and restraining the respondents from proceeding any further in pursuance of the complaint and the summon dated 27.05.2021 issued by the respondent no.03 under section 67 of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act 1985 in connection with the aforesaid investigation/inquiry".
Petitioner has merely been summoned under Section 67 of Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act 1985 in the matter.
We do not find any good reason to interfere with the summoning order dated 27.05.2021. No, material has been brought on record to show that summon has been issued either without authority of law or it suffers from malafide.
In view of the aforesaid, writ petition is dismissed.
