Crl.M No. M 15157 OF 2010 ****** Gulshan Singh vs State of Punjab Present : Mr. D.S.Rajput, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Ajaib Singh, Addl.A.G Punjab for the respondent. ******* The petitioner seeks grant of anticipatory bail in case FIR No.57, dated 22.2.2010, registered under Section 15/61/85 of the NDPS Act, at Police Station Jagraon, District Ludhiana Rural. Counsel for the petitioner has argued that the petitioner was not arrested from the spot. He relies upon the orders of this Court dated 18.3.2003 and 17.1.2008 passed in Crl Misc No. 11824 M of 2003 and Crl. Misc No. M 48216 M of 2007 respectively. Counsel for the respondent is not in a position to deny the above fact. In these circumstances, in my opinion it would be in the interest of justice if the petitioner is granted the concession of anticipatory bail. Consequently, in the event of his arrest, the petitioner shall be released on anticipatory bail by the Investigating Officer to his satisfaction subject to the provisions of Section 438(2) of the Cr.P.C. This order will, however, enure up to the filing of the challan whereafter the petitioner will have to seek regular bail in accordance with law. Petition stands disposed of.
