...Petitioner
Versus
State of Haryana ....Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAMENDRA JAIN Present:- Mr. Kuldeep V. Singh, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr. Munish Sharma, AAG, Haryana.
RAMENDRA JAIN, J. (ORAL) Through this petition under Section 439 Cr.P.C. prayer has been made for grant of regular bail to the petitioner in a case arising from FIR No.227 dated 24.09.2018 registered under Section 15 of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985 at Police Station Kalanwali, District Sirsa.
According to the prosecution, on 24.09.2018, petitioner was apprehended in conscious possession of 6 kgs of poppy husk. Learned counsel for the petitioner inter alia contends that petitioner is innocent. He has falsely been implicated in the aforesaid FIR. No recovery has to be effected from him. Conclusion of trial may take a sufficient long time. No useful purpose would be served by detaining the petitioner in jail any more.
On the other hand, learned State counsel vehemently opposed the bail to petitioner contending that petitioner was involved in 14 more RAVINDER SINGH 2019.02.01 17:31 I attest to the accuracy and authenticity of this document

Refuting the above submission of learned State counsel, learned counsel for the petitioner contends that in five cases, petitioner has been acquitted.
Considering overall facts and circumstances, but without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, the petition is allowed. Consequently, petitioner is ordered to be released on bail during pendency of trial, on his furnishing bail bonds and surety bonds to the satisfaction of Trial Court/Duty Magistrate concerned.
