Whether reporters of local papers may be allowed to see the judgment? IN THE HIGH COURT OF HIMACHAL PRADESH, SHIMLA. Cr.M.P.(M) No.212 of 2010 Dated of Decision: March 09, 2010. Rupesh Kumar. …..… Petitioner. Versus State of H.P. ……. Respondent. ……. Respondent. Coram The Hon’ble Mr. Justice Surinder Singh, Judge. Whether approved for reporting? For the Petitioner : Mr. Anup Chitkara, Advocate, vice Mr. Bhupinder Ahuja, Advocate. For the Respondent : Mr. A.K. Bansal, Add. Advocate General. Surinder Singh, J (oral): The petitioner is apprehending arrest in FIR No.53 of 2010, registered on 28th February, 2010, in Police Station Indora, under Section 21 and 22 of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act and under Sections 186, 467, 468 etc. of the Indian Penal Code. The only allegation against the petitioner is that the main accused had sold 120 bottles of Corex (100 ML. each) i.e. cough mixture. Pursuant to the last order dated 30th March, 2010, the petitioner was directed to join the investigation of this case on 31st March, 2010 at 10 a.m. in Police Post Damtal and report to the Investigating Officer ASI Sarbjeet Singh. Shri A.K. Bansal, learned Additional Advocate General, on the instructions of ASI Karam Deen, stated that after the last order, the petitioner did not join the investigation of this case. To verify this fact, I went through the police record. There is a mention 2 that the petitioner was present in the Police Station on 6.4.2010 at 1.05 p.m. and he was interrogated. It is stated that the Investigating Officer ASI Sarbjet Singh while chasing some accused in another case met with an accident therefore, the petitioner was interrogated by the I.O./Head Constable. The information supplied to the learned Additional Advocate General that the petitioner did not join the investigation of this case is incorrect. Therefore, keeping in view, the allegation against the petitioner, in my opinion, he has a case for bail. Accordingly, interim order dated 22.3.2010, is hereby confirmed on the same terms and conditions with further direction that the petitioner shall join the investigation of the case as and when required and also that he shall be present in the Court whenever required to do so. The petition stands disposed of. March 09, 2010. (Surinder Singh) (Pds) Judge.
