Versus

State of Punjab .. Respondent CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE H.S.GREWAL Present:- Mr. B.B.S.Randhawa, Advocate for the petitioner. *** H.S. Grewal, J.(Oral) 1.

This petition has been filed for grant of regular bail under Section 483 of BNSS in case FIR No. 12 dated 04.03.2025 under Sections 21 and 61 of NDPS Act (Section 27-A and 29 of NDPS Act added later on) registered at Police Station Ghanie K Bangar, District Gurdaspur. 2.

CRM-M-35041-2025 -2for grant of regular bail to the petitioner. He further submits that the petitioner is not involved in any other case under NDPS Act. He further submits that challan is yet to be presented in this case.

6.

I have heard the learned counsel for the parties and perused the record.

7.

Keeping in view the facts and circumstances of the present case and the fact that the petitioner is in custody for the last 04 months and 05 days, the continuous detention of the petitioner would not serve the ends of justice, this Court deems it a fit case to grant the concession of regular bail to the petitioner during the pendency of the trial.

8.

Therefore, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, the instant petition is allowed. The petitioner is ordered to be released on regular bail on his furnishing requisite bail bonds, surety bonds to the satisfaction of the trial Court/Duty Magistrate/Chief Judicial Magistrate concerned.

9.

It is clarified that if on bail so granted through the instant order, the petitioner is found indulging in any other criminal case it shall be open to the State to seek cancellation of his bail.
