CRM-M No. 10833 of 2011 **** Tirlok Singh vs. State of Haryna Present: Mr.K.S.Dhaliwal, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Man Mohan Sikka, DAG, Haryana. **** This is a petition for anticipatory bail filed in case bearing FIR No. 29 dated 03.03.2011, under Sections 18/25-A of the NDPS Act, registered at Police Station City Guhla, District Kaithal. On 08.04.2011 the following order was passed:- “Counsel heard. As per the counsel for the petitioner,allegations against the petitioner are that 60 Kgs of green opium plants were recovered from the field situated in village Ratta Khera on March 3rd, 2011. Notice of motion for 11.5.2011.” Today learned counsel has further argued that the petitioner was not arrested from the spot but is sought to be implicated only because the field belongs to him. I put it to learned DAG as to how much opium/poppy husk could reasonably be extracted from 60 Kilograms of green plants. Learned DAG, on instructions from ASI Satbir Singh, has stated that as far as opium is concerned, it may be in grams. As far as even poppy husk is concerned, after the plants are dried, a lot of weight would be lost. Keeping in mind the above facts, I deem it appropriate to grant the concession of anticipatory bail to the petitioner. He shall, however, report to the investigating officer on 17.05.2011 between 10.00 a.m. to 4.00 CRM-M No. 10833 of 2011 -2- p.m. and the investigating officer shall release him on bail to his satisfaction, subject to the conditions laid down in Section 438(2) Cr.P.C. Petition stands disposed of. ( AJAY TEWARI ) JUDGE May 11, 2011 sunita
