IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA

AT CHANDIGARH CRM-M-8891-2022 Date of Decision: 22.03.2022 Dalbir Singh ......... Petitioner

Versus

State of Punjab ......... Respondent

CORAM:

HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE ANOOP CHITKARA Present:- Mr. B.S. Bhalla, Advocate for the petitioner. Ms. Jaspreet Kaur, AAG, Punjab.

(Through Video Conferencing) **** ANOOP CHITKARA, J. (ORAL) Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that although there was one NDPS case but cancellation report has been filed in the same. Other three cases are under Excise Act.

Learned State counsel submits that recovery from the main accused was 190 tablets containing tramadole.

Since, the FIR in this case was registered way back on 16.08.2020 and there were no explainable steps why the accused is arraigned after so much of time, therefore, there is no justification to deny anticipatory bail to the petitioner. Given above, the present petition is allowed and interim order dated 15.03.2022 is made absolute.

It is clarified that the petitioner shall comply with conditions No. 18 and 19 within 10 days if not already done. In case, he fails to do so, on this ground alone, the interim order shall be liable to be recalled. It shall be open for the State to file cancellation bail of the petitioner on this ground alone. (ANOOP CHITKARA) JUDGE 22.03.2022 Jyoti-II Whether speaking/reasoned Yes/No Whether Reportable Yes/No JYOTI 2022.03.24 15:19 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document
