CRM-M No.29719 of 2009 Sahba Singh vs. State of Punjab Present: Mr. Anurag Arora, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Mehardeep Singh, DAG, Punjab. **** This petition has been filed under Section 439 Cr.PC for grant of regular bail in FIR No.147 dated 30.08.2007 under Section 15/61/85 of NDPS Act, 1985 at PS Sunam, Distt. Sangrur. On the last date the matter had been adjourned only for the reason that the trial had been fixed for 21.12.2009 for evidence and the prosecution had undertaken to conclude its entire evidence on that date. It was further mentioned that the case of the petitioner would be considered today regardless whether the evidence is concluded or not. Learned state counsel on instructions of ASI Karminder Singh, states that though the prosecution was prepared to lead evidence yet since the presiding officer was on leave, the evidence could not be led. He further prays that now the matter has been adjourned to 30.01.2010 for evidence and this application should be deferred. Adjourned to 30.01.2010. In my opinion, the interpretation being sought by the learned state counsel is not entirely correct. It was intended on the last date that the case of the petitioner for consideration of CRM-M No.29719 of 2009 -2- bail would be heard today. Learned state counsel is not in a position to deny that co-accused Gobind Singh was released on bail vide order dated 19.08.2009. In these circumstances, I consider that it would be in the interest of justice to grant regular bail to the satisfaction of CJM, Sangrur. Consequently, this petition is allowed.
