IN THE PUNJAB AND HARYANA HIGH COURT AT CHANDIGARH Crl. Misc. -M. No. 25494 of 2011 (O&M) Date of Decision: 18.10.2011 Harbhajan Singh @ Bhajan Singh ...Petitioner Versus State of Punjab ..Respondent CORAM: Hon'ble Mr. Justice Rajesh Bindal Present: Mr. Ashok Giri, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. K.S. Pannu, Deputy Advocate General, Punjab. RAJESH BINDAL, J. Prayer in the present petition is for grant of regular bail. The FIR was registered on a secret information that the petitioner, who is indulging in sale of poppy husk, is present in old cremation Ground situated at village Gillah along with poppy husk. Two bags were recovered from the spot containing 60 kilograms of poppy husk. The petitioner managed to escape from there. He was arrested on 28.2.2011 and is in custody since then. The case set up by the petitioner is that he has been falsely implicated otherwise there is no question of petitioner's running away from the spot when four police personnel had raided the place in a vehicle. On the other hand, learned counsel for the State submitted that the recovered quantity of poppy husk being commercial, the petitioner does not deserve concession of bail. After hearing the learned counsel for the parties and considering the submissions made above, where the petitioner was not arrested from the spot, in my opinion, he deserves concession of bail, pending trial. He is directed to be released on furnishing of bail bonds to the satisfaction of Chief Judicial Magistrate/Duty Magistrate, Jalandhar. The petition stands disposed of.
