(Oral) Petitioner has brought this petition under section 439 of Code of Criminal Procedure for seeking regular bail in case FIR No. 47 dated 26.3.2008 under sections 15/27/27-A of Narcotic Drugs & Psychotropic Substances Act registered at Police Station Jakhal District Fatehabad. The petitioner is in custody since 13.12.2008. It is fairly admitted by learned State counsel that the alleged recovery of contraband substance in this case is non-commercial. The case is still at the initial stage as the challan has not been presented so far. Thus, the trial is likely to take a long time to conclude. In the given facts and circumstances and without commenting on the merits of the case, the petitioner is ordered to be released on bail on his furnishing bail/surety bonds to the satisfaction of the Chief Judicial Magistrate, Fatehabad. Criminal Misc. is disposed of. ( Pritam Pal ) April 01, 2009 Judge 'dalbir'
