Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that at this stage, apart from the said disclosure statement(s) of the co-accused persons, there is no other evidence or incriminating material to implicate the petitioner in the present case or to connect him with the recovery of said contraband. He further submits that the petitioner is ready and willing to join the investigation as and when called for.

' (   Mr. P.S. Pandher, AAG, Punjab accepts notice on behalf of the respondent-State and vehemently opposes the grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioner on the ground that the petitioner is a habitual offender and is involved in other criminal cases as well.

I have heard the learned counsel for the respective parties and have gone through the documents and other material available on record. The counsel for the petitioner is not in a position to deny that the fact that the petitioner is involved in other criminal case under Arms Act and as such, it can be said that the petitioner is a habitual offender and his antecedents are not clean. In order to make thorough investigation, his custodial interrogation would be necessary. Hence, no ground is made out to grant the benefit of anticipatory bail to the petitioner at this stage. Dismissed.
