CORAM:

HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAMENDRA JAIN PRESENT: Mr. Arjun Atri, Advocate for the petitioner. Ms. Bhavna Gupta, DAG, Punjab.

RAMENDRA JAIN, J. (ORAL) 1.

Through this petition under Section 439 Cr.P.C., the petitioner has prayed for grant of regular bail in case FIR No. 92 dated 27.04.2017 registered under Section 22 of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substance Act (for short-'the Act') (Section 29 of the Act added later on) at Police Station Civil Lines Patiala, District Patiala. 2.

Learned counsel for the petitioner contends that the petitioner was not apprehended at the spot. He has been falsely implicated on the basis of some call details in between the petitioner and his co-accused, namely; Sukhwinder Singh @ Sukhi. There is no conversation on the record proving the guilt of the accused in the alleged commission of crime. The petitioner is the resident of Delhi.

3.

On the other hand, learned State counsel as on today is not able to connect the co-accused with the petitioner on the basis of alleged conversation in between them, raising any finger towards him. Rishu Kataria 2017.09.13 11:10 I attest to the accuracy and authenticity of this document
