Admittedly, recovery of 5.40 grams heroin was effected from co-accused-Praveen Kumar alias Bindu who was granted bail by the Court of learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Fatehabad. After recovery, during investigation, co-accused-Praveen Kumar alias Bindu suffered a disclosure statement disclosing name of present applicant, who had supplied heroin to him.

Status report by way of affidavit of Jagdish Kumar, Deputy RAVINDER DHANIA 2026.01.06 16:02 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document

Superintendent of Police, Sadar Fatehabad & Traffic Fatehabad, has been filed.

5.

From the status report, it is clearly made out that the sole material available with police is only the disclosure statement made by coaccused.Keeping in view the fact that recovery pertains to small amount of heroin and has not been made from present applicant.Also, the applicant has been named only by way of disclosure statement. No useful purpose would be served by arresting the applicant when main accused was not even remanded to police custody and was extended benefit of bailby the Court of learned Chief Judicial Magistrate.
