...Petitioner

Versus

STATE OF PUNJAB ... Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE HARNARESH SINGH GILL

Present:

Mr. Monty Goyal, Advocate for the petitioner.

**** HARNARESH SINGH GILL, J.(Oral) The petitioner, through this petition, seeks interim bail for a period of one month in order to meet his daughter, who is going abroad for study purpose.

Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has been in custody since October, 2021 in FIR No.183 dated 16.10.2021, under Sections 18 and 29 of the NDPS Act, registered at Police Station City Moga, District Moga and that Agampreet Kaur, daughter of the petitioner is scheduled to leave for Canada on a study Vias for a period of about two years and thus, the petitioner intends to spend some time with her daughter before her actual departure to Canada. Notice of motion.

On the asking of this Court, Mr. Subhash Godara, Additional Advocate General, Punjab, accepts notice on behalf of the respondentState and submits that there are other cases of similar nature registered AMAN JAIN 2022.10.21 17:09 I attest to the accuracy and authenticity of this order/judgment

CRM-M-48941-2022 (O&M) -2and/or pending against the petitioner. Thus, he is not entitled to the concession of interim bail and that too for the purpose of meeting his daughter, which can very well be done during Mulakat at the Jail premises.

I have heard the learned counsel for the parties. The only ground of the petitioner for his release on interim bail is to meet his daughter and spend some time with her. As noticed above, the petitioner is a person of criminal antecedents and many cases of similar nature are pending against him. There is no denying the fact that the petitioner could not meet his daughter during the routine meeting of the family members at the Jail premises. Thus, the petitioner can very well meet his daughter during such occasion.

In view of the above, no ground is made out to grant interim bail to the petitioner.

Dismissed.
