IN THE PUNJAB AND HARYANA HIGH COURT AT CHANDIGARH Criminal Misc. -M No. 23656 of 2011 (O&M) Rajiv Kumar and another .. Petitioners versus State of Punjab .. Respondent Coram: Hon'ble Mr. Justice Rajesh Bindal Present: Mr. G. C. Dhuriwala, Advocate, for the petitioners. Rajesh Bindal, J. Prayer in the present petition is for quashing of FIR No. 69 dated 26.4.2011, registered under Sections 21, 22, 61, 85 of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985, at police Station Tappa Mandi, District Barnala. It is a case in which 1 kg phenotil powder and 1,79,800 tablets were recovered from the petitioners. Learned counsel for the petitioners was fair enough to submit that the entire prosecution evidence has already been led. However, he submitted that the petitioners cannot lead evidence in defence as they are in custody. Bail application bearing CRM -M No. 20999 of 2011 was dismissed on 4.10.2011. The submission is that notice in the present petition be issued as the petitioners wish to go to Hon'ble the Supreme Court for bail, otherwise on account of non leading of evidence in defence by the petitioners, they may be convicted as their contention regarding they being not guilty of offence under NDPS Act, may not be considered. After hearing learned counsel for the petitioners and considering the stage of the trial, I do not find any reason to quash the FIR at this stage. However, the petitioners are at liberty to take up all the issues raised in the present petition at an appropriate stage during trial. The petition stands dismissed. 2.12.2011 ( Rajesh Bindal ) vs Judge
