Downloads
Abstract
In a diverse state like India, the judiciary has always played an active role when it comes to dealing with all sorts of social menaces. Among such social menaces drug abuse is one. Drug abuse has proved to be one of the most difficult and challenging menace for our society. India has been the vulnerable transit point in international traffic in narcotic drugs as situated between two major global sources of illicit drugs, the Golden Triangle (Thailand, Myanmar and Laos) and the Golden Crescent (Pakistan, Afghanistan and Iraq). Heroin smuggled into India from these places is transported to U.S.A. and other European Countries. The menace of narco-terrorism is wreaking havoc in the valley of Jammu and Kashmir and in the North Eastern States and threatening peace and stability of our nation. The judiciary of our country has not been ignorant of this fact. With the help and coordination of legislature by making laws for special courts to deal with the menace of drug abuse, the courts in India have also tried to make some significant changes in the present scenario. This paper will try to find out how much role the judiciary can play in order to curb this menace in India and how far the Indian judiciary has been sincere in their efforts to control the problem of drug abuser in India.
