Criminal Misc. No. M-25919 of 2010 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Criminal Misc. No. M-25919 of 2010 Date of decision : 13.01.2011 Jagroop Singh @ Pipa ....Petitioner V/s State of Punjab ....Respondent BEFORE : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJAN GUPTA Present: Mr. Rahul Vats, Advocate for the petitioner. Dr. U.S. Dhaliwal, Additional Advocate General, Punjab. RAJAN GUPTA J. (ORAL) This is a petition filed under Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure seeking regular bail in a case registered against the petitioner vide FIR No. 343 dated 22.09.2009 under Sections 15/61/85 of the NDPS Act at Police Station Tripuri, Patiala. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that petitioner was merely sitting in the vehicle from which the recovery was allegedly effected. According to him, the petitioner is not guilty of offence committed and deserves to be enlarged on bail. Learned State counsel has, however, opposed the prayer for bail on the ground that recovery of 6 bags of poppy husk each containing 35 kg was effected from the vehicle in question and trial of the case is still in progress. Heard. Criminal Misc. No. M-25919 of 2010 2 In view of the heavy quantity of poppy husk recovered from the vehicle and the fact that petitioner was apprehended on the spot, it is not a fit case to enlarge the petitioner on bail. Section 37 of the NDPS Act would be attracted to the facts of the instant case. Accordingly, the present petition for regular bail is without any merit and is hereby dismissed.
