KUMAR MANOJ 2015.12.19 13:49 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document CRM-M- 42253 of 2015 #1#

Versus

State of Punjab ....Respondent

CORAM:

HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE AJAY TEWARI

Present:

Mr. G.S. Verma, Advocate for the petitioner.

Ms. Amarjit Kaur Khurana, Addl.A.G, Punjab.

*** 1.

Whether Reporters of Local Newspapers may be allowed to see the judgment ?

2.

To be referred to the Reporters or not ?

3.

Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest ? AJAY TEWARI, J (ORAL) Prayer is for grant of regular bail in case FIR No.129 dated 28.7.2015 under Section 15 of the NDPS Act, P.S Baba, District Ludhiana. Learned counsel for the petitioner has argued that the petitioner was not arrested at the spot and has been implicated only on the disclosure statement of his co-accused.

Learned state counsel, on instructions from SI Gurdev Singh, has although accepted this fact however states that the petitioner is also involved in another case under the NDPS Act wherein he was found in possession of 5 kg poppy husk.

Learned counsel for the petitioner has contended that even though the charge has been framed yet no other evidence has surfaced against the petitioner except the disclosure statement and that in the other

CRM-M- 42253 of 2015 #2# case, he is regularly appearing and that he has been in custody for past 20 days.

Without commenting upon the merits of the case, and keeping in view the fact that the trial is not going to conclude in near future, no useful purpose would be served by keeping the petitioner in custody. I do not deem it appropriate to deny the concession of regular bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, the petitioner is admitted to bail to the satisfaction of the Chief Judicial Magistrate/Duty Magistrate, Ludhiana. Petition stands disposed of.
