Crl. Misc. No.M-9693 of 2010 [1] IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. Crl. Misc. No. M-9693 of 2010 Date of Decision: July 5, 2010 Jagjit Singh …..Petitioner Vs. State of Punjab …..Respondent CORAM: HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE M.M.S. BEDI. -.- Present:- Mr.Karamjit Singh, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr.Abhishekh Chautala, AAG, Punjab. -.- M.M.S. BEDI, J. (ORAL) The allegation against the petitioner is that he has helped his co-accused Pardeep Singh and Mehar Singh in smuggling 4 kg. of heroine from Pakistan. Mehar Singh died in an encounter when an attempt was made to stop him from fleeing back to Pakistan. It will be premature at this stage to disbelieve the confessional statement of Partap Singh to the effect that the petitioner had left them at a place named Rajatal on his motorcycle. Crl. Misc. No.M-9693 of 2010 [2] Whether the statement of accomplice is sufficient enough to convict the petitioner cannot be appreciated at this stage. Tasking into consideration the stand that the petitioner had been playing active part in smuggling of heroine from Pakistan, no ground is made out in view of provisions of Section 37 of the NDPS Act. Petition is dismissed at this stage. July 5, 2010 (M.M.S.BEDI) sanjay JUDGE
