IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Crl. Misc. No.M-24932 of 2011. Date of decision: November 01, 2011. Balwinder Singh @ Binder .. Petitioner VERSUS State of Punjab. .. Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE M.M.S.BEDI PRESENT Mr.Prateek Pandit, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr.P.S.Bajwa, DAG., Punjab. M.M.S.BEDI, J (ORAL). On account of petitioner having been found in possession of 60 kgs. of poppy husk, he has been in custody w.e.f., 17.06.2011. The trial is likely to take a long time. The quantity appears to be marginally higher than the commercial quantity prescribed under the Act. The period of detention suffered by the petitioner will certainly have a deterrent effect upon the petitioner not to commit the similar offence of which he is accused of. The petition is allowed and the petitioner is ordered to be released on bail on his furnishing bail bonds/surety bonds to the satisfaction of the trial Court subject to an additional condition that the petitioner will not commit the similar offence of which he is accused of during pendency of the trial. (M.M.S.BEDI) JUDGE November 01, 2011. rka
