CRM No.M-23958 of 2015 -2business. When the police party, as per the information, was going, on the way they found one Verna car bearing registration No.PB02BX-9449 parked on the road outside OBC Bank, in which one Hindu person was sitting and towards his right, one person on Honda Activa was standing. On seeing the police party, he fled away on the Activa. He was identified as Ranjodh Singh. From the pocket of Lakhwinder Singh @ Lakha, 260 grams of heroin was recovered. I have heard learned counsel for the petitioner as well as learned State counsel and have gone through the record. From the record as well as from the arguments, I find that nothing incriminating has been recovered from the present petitioner. He was stated to have run away on Activa. There is statement of coaccused before the police involving the present petitioner. The petitioner is in judicial custody. He is no more required for any investigation or interrogation purposes. The trial is already going on. No useful purpose will be served by keeping the petitioner in custody till the disposal of the case.

Keeping in view the facts and circumstances of the case and without discussing the merits of the case in minute details and without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, the present petition is accepted and the petitioner is ordered to be released on regular bail on furnishing bail bonds in the sum of `50,000/- with one surety in the like amount to the satisfaction of the Trial Court/Duty Magistrate, Amritsar.
