IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. Criminal Misc.31612-M of 2008 DATE OF DECISION : DECEMBER 16, 2008 NIDHAN SINGH ....... PETITIONER(S) VERSUS STATE OF PUNJAB .... RESPONDENT(S) CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE AJAI LAMBA PRESENT: Mr. SS Rangi, Advocate, for the petitioner(s). Mr. AS Rai, AAG, Punjab. AJAI LAMBA, J. (Oral) This petition under Section 438, Code of Criminal Procedure, seeks bail in FIR No.168 dated 23.8.2008 under Section 15 of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, Police Station, Sadar Rajpura, District Patiala. The contention of the learned counsel for the petitioner is that the petitioner has been falsely implicated. No recovery has been effected from the petitioner as he has not been arrested. I have considered the contention. The FIR alleges that a secret information was received in regard to the petitioner and another accused-Gulab Singh, who indulged in sale of poppy husk at their Dhaba (Restaurant). It seems that, subsequently, Criminal Misc.31612-M of 2008 2 the barrier was put up. Gulab Singh was arrested. The petitioner and another person ran away from the spot. Three bags of poppy husk were recovered. The very fact that the petitioner has been named in the FIR and the information given by the secret informer came to be true in so much as three bags of poppy husk were recovered from co-accused, no ground for anticipatory bail is made out. The petition is dismissed. December 16, 2008 ( AJAI LAMBA ) Kang JUDGE
