bearing FIR No.35 dated 03.03.2020, registered at Police Station Khanna City-2, District Ludhiana, under Sections 21, 25 and 29 of the NDPS Act, 1985.

Learned counsel for the petitioner contends that recovery of 252-gram and 05-gram of heroin was effected from Sukhwinder Singh and Gaurav Raj Hans, respectively, that the petitioner has been indicted in the present case on the disclosure statement suffered by co-accused, and that coaccused, Gourav Raj Hans, has been granted regular bail vide order dated 01.05.2020 passed by the learned Additional Sessions Judge, Ludhiana.

I have heard the learned counsel for the parties. The factual matrix, as stated above by the learned counsel for the petitioner, could not be refuted by the learned State counsel on the basis of instructions received by him from the Investigating Officer. The petitioner has been indicted in the present case on the disclosure statement of co-accused. Charges are yet to be framed. Trial of the case would take time to conclude. Therefore, no useful purpose would be served by keeping the petitioner behind the bars.
