Actor Fardeen Khan Thursday received a mixed judgement in a drug case when the court acquitted him from the charge of procuring nine grams of cocaine but said he would be charged for attempting to buy one gram of the drug, which attracts lesser penalty. Additional sessions judge P N Deshmukh discharged the actor from the offence of allegedly procuring nine grams of cocaine about five years ago, which would have invited stringent punishment. The judge, however, held that Khan would be charged for conspiracy of attempting to buy one gram of the contraband. Khan was caught here by the police while attempting to buy cocaine from a drug peddler in 2002. Nine grams of cocaine was seized from the peddler. During the trial, the actor told the court that he was attempting to buy only one gram of the drug and hence should not be charged for more quantity.
