According to the prosecution, petitioner along with his co-accused Harwinder Singh and Harbans Singh was sitting on the rear seat of Swift Dezire car bearing registration No.PB-28-E-0377 driven by Satpal Singh. They were apprehended at the spot.

-2CRM-M-45855 of 2017 have been granted regular bail by this Court vide orders dated 01.12.2017 and 20.11.2017, respectively.

On the other hand, learned State counsel vehemently opposed the prayer for grant of regular bail to the petitioner. Considering over-all facts and circumstances, but without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, taking the case of the petitioner on the same parity as that of his co-accused, the petition is allowed. Consequently, petitioner is ordered to be released on bail, on his furnishing bail bonds and surety bonds, to the satisfaction of Trial Court/Duty Magistrate concerned.
