The case of the prosecution is that one Ajay, Kuldeep and Kamal were found in possession of 132.360 Kgs of poppy husk. Thereafter, in a disclosure statement, they named one Govind Bhat and Pritam, resident of Rajasthan, however, after a period two days, the name of the present petitioner i.e. Pritam resident of Agroha, Hisar instead of Pritam resident of Rajasthan, surfaced in the disclosure statement of the co-accused. 3.

Learned counsel for the petitioner contends that that he is not involved in any other case and he has wrongly been named in the present case due to enmity with the co-accused.
