IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. Criminal Misc. No. 36793-M of 2009 DATE OF DECISION : JANUARY 25, 2010 SHASHI BHUSHAN ....... PETITIONER(S) VERSUS STATE OF PUNJAB .... RESPONDENT(S) CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE AJAI LAMBA PRESENT: Mr. Hemant Saini, Advocate, for the petitioner(s). Ms. Rajni Gupta, Addl.AG, Punjab. AJAI LAMBA, J. (Oral) This petition under Section 439, Code of Criminal Procedure, has been filed for bail in FIR No.87 dated 9.5.2008 under Sections 21/22 of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985, Police Station, 'A' Division, Amritsar. It transpires that the petitioner was apprehended while in possession of 250 grams of smack. After the petitioner was granted bail, he jumped bail and could not be arrested for more than one year, thereby delaying the trial. I have also taken note of the fact that the petitioner is a resident of Madhya Pradesh. Criminal Misc. No. 36793-M of 2009 2 Considering the totality of facts and circumstances of the case, I find that the petitioner is not entitled to the concession of bail as he has abused the concession once granted. The trial has been delayed. There is a co-accused in the FIR. The petition is dismissed, however, with request to the trial court to conclude the trial within 6 months of the next date of hearing fixed by the trial court. January 25, 2010 ( AJAI LAMBA ) Kang JUDGE 1. To be referred to the Reporters or not? 2. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest?
