Petitioner has filed this petition under Section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure for grant of anticipatory bail in case FIR No.296 dated 1.9.2010 under Section 15 of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985 (in short 'the Act'), registered at Police Station Ratia, District Fatehabad. The prosecution case in brief is that on 1.9.2010 Joginder Singh alias Pali was arrested with 7 kg of poppy husk. He disclosed that he had purchased one and a half kg. of poppy husk from Balbir Singh alias Bira. Balbir Singh alias Bira was arrested and he disclosed that he had purchased the said poppy husk from the petitioner. Learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that the Crl. Misc. No. M-29107 of 2010 (O&M) 2 petitioner has been falsely involved in this case on the basis of statement of Balbir Singh alias Bira, who had been arrested by the police. Learned State counsel, who is assisted by Head Constable Ranjit Singh, has submitted that although the petitioner has joined investigation but he is required for interrogation. Petitioner is also involved in another case under the Act. Keeping in view the fact that the petitioner is required for custodial interrogation and the fact that he is also involved in another case under the Act, no ground for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioner is made out. Dismissed. (SABINA) November 19, 2010 JUDGE Anand
