Crl. Misc. No.M-34243 of 2010 Manpreet Singh alias Mann Versus State of Punjab PRESENT Mr.Jasjit Singh Bedi, Adv., for the petitioner. Mr.Arshvinder Singh, Addl. A.G., Punjab. Counsel for the petitioner has, inter alia, argued that going by the percentage of diacetylmorphine, the quantity of smack recovered from the petitioner would be marginally higher than the commercial quantity and that there has been gross violation of Section 50 of the ND & PS Act. The petitioner has been in custody for the last more than two years. State counsel informs that almost the entire prosecution evidence has been produced before the trial Court. The case is fixed for recording of statement of Investigating Officer for today. Taking into consideration the stage of the trial, I deem it appropriate, in the interest of justice, to order that the trial will be concluded within a period of three months. The petitioner will be given a fair opportunity to produce his defence evidence. In case for any reason, the trial cannot be completed within three months from today, it will be open to the trial Court to grant the concession of bail to the petitioner. All the pleas raised before this Court would be available to the petitioner at the time of final arguments to seek acquittal. Disposed of. ` (M.M.S.BEDI) JUDGE August 11, 2011. rka
