 Mr. P.S. Sekhon, Advocate for the petitioner(s).

Mr. Rishabh Singla, AAG, Punjab.

H.S. Grewal, J. (Oral)
 By way of common order, the aforesaid petitions shall be disposed of -1which have been filed under Section 439 of Code of Criminal Procedure, seeking regular bail in FIR No.81 dated 05.07.2023 under Sections 22-C, 25 and 27-A of NDPS Act, 1985 registered at Police Station City Budhlada, District Mansa.

2.

Status report by way of affidavit of Deputy Superintendent of Police, Sub Division Budhlada, District Mansa on behalf of respondent-State has been filed in Court today and the same is taken on record.

3.

The case of the prosecution is that the petitioners were -2apprehended by the police being found to be in conscious possession of 10 vials of Wincirex Cough Syrup alongwith 200 intoxicant tablets of Carisoprodol. It is argued that the petitioners themselves are drug addicts and have taken the aforesaid quantity for their use.

4.

Learned counsel for the petitioners contends that the petitioners are in custody for the last 11 months and 28 days. He further submits that out of 14 cited prosecution witnesses, none has been examined so far. 5.

Learned counsel for the State by way of filing of custody certificate, vehemently opposes the grant of concession of regular bail. He does not refute the fact that the petitioners are in custody for the last 11 months and 28 days, and that out of 14 cited prosecution witnesses, none has been examined so far.

6.

I have heard learned counsel for the parties and have gone through the material placed on record.

              

            11 months and 28 days

 ut of 14 cited prosecution witnesses, none has been examined 

                                                      8.

Hence, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, the instant petition is allowed. The petitioners are granted the concession of regular bail, on their furnishing requisite bonds to the satisfaction of the trial Court/Duty Magistrate/ Chief Judicial Magistrate concerned. 9.

It is however, made clear that in case during his bail, if the

petitioners indulge in any offence, the State shall be at liberty to file an -3application for cancellation of bail of the petitioners. 10.

However, nothing expressed hereinabove shall have any effect on the merits of the case.

11.

Pending applications, if any, also stand disposed of. 25th August, 2025 (H.S. GREWAL) JUDGE Whether speaking/reasoned :
