Crl.Misc. No.M-18325 of 2011 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Crl.Misc. No.M-18325 of 2011. Date of decision: July 18, 2011. Vishnu Parshad. .. Petitioner VERSUS State of Punjab. .. Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE M.M.S.BEDI * * * PRESENT Mr.S.P.Soi, Advocate, for the petitioner. * * * M.M.S.BEDI, J (ORAL). Petitioner seeks the concession of regular bail in a case of recovery of 3 Kgs. of Opium from the petitioner on 28.02.2011, inter alia, on the ground that, prima facie, there is absence of link evidence. In support of said contention, it has been submitted that though two samples of 10 gms. had been separated but the report of the chemical examiner indicates that only 3 gms. was issued in the shape of sample. I have considered the statements of the counsel for the petitioner and gone through the report of Assistant Chemical Examiner, Annexure P-2. No opinion can be expressed, at this stage, on examination of the report of Assistant Chemical Examiner as to whether sample issued for analyses was 3 gms., out of 10 gms issued or it was only 3 gms. sample which had been sent to the . . . 1 Crl.Misc. No.M-18325 of 2011 chemical Laboratory. In view of the quantity of the Opium alleged to have been recovered from the petitioner and taking into consideration the provisions of Section 37 of the ND & PS Act, I do not find any ground, at this stage, to grant the concession of regular bail. Dismissed, at this stage, with liberty to file a similar petition after the examination of the police official who had allegedly taken the sample for chemical examination and other material evidence.
