IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Criminal Misc.-M No.18775 of 2011. Date of Decision: 13.09.2011 Harinder Singh alias Raja ......Petitioner Versus State of Punjab .....Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJESH BINDAL Present: Mr. B.D. Sharma, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr. K.S. Pannu, Deputy Advocate General, Punjab. RAJESH BINDAL J. Prayer in the present petition is for grant of pre-arrest bail to the petitioner, who is an accused in FIR No.24 dated 18.05.2011, registered under Sections 21, 61, 85 of NDPS Act at Police Station Tibber, District Gurdaspur. The allegation is regarding the recovery of 10 gms smack. Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that no recovery was effected from the petitioner. It was effected from the co-accused, who was arrested from the spot. The petitioner has been falsely implicated. Learned counsel for the State submitted that the petitioner in fact is a habitual offender. Earlier he was invovled into two other cases of similar nature where recovery of 4 gms and 5 gms smack, was made from him. In one of the case the petitioner was acquitted by the trial Court whereas in the second case, the trial is still pending. The aforesaid fact is not disputed by the learned counsel for the petitioner. After hearing learned counsel for the parties and considering the antecedents of the petitioner where he was involved in two other cases of similar nature earlier and trial in one case is still pending, in my opinion, the petitioner does not deserve concession of pre-arrest bail. Dismissed. (RAJESH BINDAL) 13.09.2011 JUDGE Jyoti 1
