Gulhasan Gulsher Khan vs Directorate Of Revenue Intelligence on 11 February, 2026
b. Mr. Singh relied upon the judgment of the Supreme Court in Bharat
Chaudhary v. Union of India7, and of this Court in Mohd. Nasar v.
Narcotics Control Bureau8, to submit that WhatsApp chats,
unsupported by forensic analysis, cannot be used at this stage to

establish that the petitioner was facilitating the import not on his own
account, but for a third-party consignee, named in the WhatsApp chats
