...Respondent(s)

CORAM:

HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJAN GUPTA

Present:

Mr. R.S. Sidhu, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr. A.A. Pathak, Addl.A.G., Punjab.

***** Rajan Gupta, J. (Oral) This petition has been filed under Section 439 Cr.P.C. seeking regular bail to the petitioner in a case FIR No.51 dated 04.07.2012 under Section 22/61/85 of NDPS Act registered at Police Station Verowal, District Tarn Taran.

Admittedly, quantity of contraband recovered from the petitioner is non-commercial in nature. Petitioner is incarcerated since 31.05.2017.

Keeping in view the period of his incarceration and the fact that trial may take some time to conclude, no useful purpose would be served by detaining the petitioner during pendency of the trial, I deem it appropriate to grant regular bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, petition is allowed and the petitioner is ordered to be enlarged on bail to the satisfaction of Chief Judicial Magistrate/Duty Magistrate, Tarn Taran.
