Mr. Maninder Singh Bajwa, Advocate for the petitioner(s).

Shekher Dhawan, J.

Present petition under Section 438 Cr.P.C. for seeking pre-arrest bail to the petitioner, namely Jatinder Singh alias Luddi in case FIR No. 75 dated 08.06.2016, registered under Section(s) 22 of the Narcotic Drugs & Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985 at Police Station Sadar Kapurthala, District Kapurthala.

Learned counsel for the petitioner contended that earlier, petitioner was admitted to regular bail and his bail was cancelled on 24.07.2019. On that date, he was confined in jail as is evident from the custody certificate (Annexure P3) and, therefore, he could not appear before the learned trial Court. Otherwise, there was no reason for him not to appear before the learned trial Court and still he is ready to appear and face trial in the case.

Notice of motion.
