IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Criminal Misc. No. M-497 of 2008. Date of decision:-25.4.2008. Kashmir Singh @ Gora ...Petitioner. Versus State of Punjab ...Respondent. CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJESH BINDAL Present:- Mr. Ashok Kumar Khunger, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. A.S.Brar, DAG Punjab. RAJESH BINDAL J. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner alongwith his wife were innocent passengers in the car after they had taken a lift. The recovery of poppy husk is not effected from them. In fact they have been falsely implicated, as it is not possible for two bags of poppy husk weighing 35 kgs. each and two persons to be accommodated on the rear seat of the Maruti car. Even if, the case of the prosecution is taken to be true, there were three persons in the car and the recovery of poppy husk is only 70 kgs. The other co-accused is the wife of the petitioner, who has already been granted regular bail by this court. The petitioner is in custody since 18.8.2007. Be that as it may, without opining on the merits of the controversy, the present petition is disposed of with a direction that pending trial the petitioner shall be released on bail to the satisfaction of Chief Judicial Magistrate, Faridkot. 25th April, 2008.
