(Oral) This is a petition seeking regular bail in case FIR No. 163 dated 16.06.2010, under Sections 18 and 21 of the N.D.P.S. Act, registered at Police Station Kharar, District SAS Nagar. Learned counsel for the petitioner states that co- accused, namely, Salim Khan has already been enlarged on regular bail by the Co-ordinate Bench of this Court vide order dated 19.11.2010. CRM M-8205 of 2011 Perusal of the record shows that 2.200 Kgms opium was found from the possession of co-accused Saleem Khan; while 250 gms smack was found from the possession of present petitioner Yashpal Bhatia. Learned counsel for the petitioner fairly states that prosecution evidence is going on and two prosecution witnesses have already been examined. Considering the totality of the facts and circumstances of the case, I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail. Dismissed. However, learned Trial Court is requested to expedite the trial and not to grant unnecessary adjournments. March 22, 2011 ( Alok Singh ) vkd Judge 2
