As per allegations in the FIR, 1200 tablets of Clovidol 100 SR were recovered from the possession of co-accused Kulwinder Singh @ Kandi. The name of the petitioner is alleged to have cropped up in the disclosure statement of co-accused Kulwinder Singh who disclosed that he had purchased the said contraband from the petitioner. Learned counsel for the petitioner contends that petitioner has falsely been roped in and that he has no concern with the alleged recovery and that the petitioner is in custody since 29.08.2020. Opposing the petition, the learned State counsel has submitted that investigation is complete and challan has been presented. Without commenting anything on the merits of the case and also bearing in mind the custody period of the petitioner, in my opinion, no useful purpose will be served by detaining the petitioner behind bars any MANOJ KUMAR 2020.11.23 18:29 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document
