RAJAN GUPTA J.

Petitioner seeks concession of regular bail in a case registered against him under section 20 of the NDPS Act vide FIR No. 274 dated 10.07.2016 at police station Gannaur, district Sonepat. It has been urged before the court that petitioner and his co-accused were separately apprehended by the police. From the possession of petitioner, recovery of 320 grams of charas was recovered which admittedly is a non-commercial quantity. Out of nine witnesses cited by the prosecution, two have been examined till now.

This court does not wish to express any opinion on the merits of case. It would be open to the trail court to examine whether recovery effected from two accused has to be clubbed or taken as separate recovery. However, in view of arguable issues, this court feels that no useful purpose would be served by detaining the petitioner in custody.
