IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Crl.Misc.No.M-8881 of 2011 DATE OF DECISION: March 23, 2011 Amrik Singh …..Petitioner versus State of Punjab .....Respondent CORAM:- HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJAN GUPTA Present: Mr.A.K. Lamdharia, Advocate for the petitioner .. RAJAN GUPTA, J.: (Oral) This is a petition under section 439 Cr.P.C. seeking regular bail in a case registered against the petitioner under section 18/25/61 of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985 vide FIR No.125 dated 8.10.2010 at police station Sardulgarh, District Mansa. Learned counsel has argued that petitioner has been falsely implicated in the case. There is no evidence to connect him with the commission of crime and thus, he is entitled to concession of bail. I have heard learned counsel for the petitioner. As per prosecution, on 8.10.2010 the petitioner was apprehended on motorcycle in the area of Sardulgarh. The motorcycle was apprehended by SI-Darshan Singh and 8 kgs. of opium was recovered from the pillion rider. The petitioner was driving the said motorcycle. Crl.Misc.No.M-8881 of 2011 - 2 - In view of commercial nature of contraband recovered in the occurrence, section 37 of the Act would be attracted to the instant case. I am of the considered view that petitioner is not entitled to concession of bail. It appears that petitioner had earlier preferred a similar petition (Crl.Misc.No.M-4573/2011) which was dismissed as withdrawn vide order dated 14.2.2011 (Annexure P-3). The petition is, thus, devoid of merit and is hereby dismissed in limine. March 23, 2011 ( RAJAN GUPTA ) pc JUDGE
