Present : Dr.Anmol Rattan Sidhu, Senior Advocate with Mr.Vishal Deep Goyal, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr.Kirat Singh Sidhu, DAG, Punjab. -.- 1. Whether Reporters of Local papers may be allowed to see the judgment? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? --- Surya Kant, J. (Oral) The prayer in this application is to release the petitioner on regular bail in case FIR No.2 dated 1.1.2010, registered at Police Station S/SOC/PB, Amritsar, under Sections 21, 23, 29/61/85 of the NDPS Act. Learned counsel for the petitioner does not dispute the fact that the Hon'ble Supreme Court has referred the matter in Pardeep Dhond versus The Intelligence Officer, Narcotics Control Bureau and another to a Larger Bench and based on that reference, has disapproved the order of the High Court whereby the bail order passed by the Special Judge was set- aside. In other words, the Hon'ble Supreme Court has approved the order of the Special Judge granting bail to the under-trial. Crl.Misc.Nos.M-5071 of 2011 [2] In the instant case also, the allegations against the petitioner and his co-accused are regarding recovery of four Kgs. Synthetic drug with Methamphetamine salt. The petitioner was arrested on 1.1.2010 and after presentation of the challan, the case is now fixed for prosecution evidence. The conclusion of the trial will take time. In these circumstances and in the light of the orders passed by the Hon'ble Supreme Court in Jagdish Singh versus Union of India and another (Criminal Appeal No.1845 of 2010), this petition is allowed, however, without expressing any views on the merits of the case the petitioner is ordered to be released on bail on furnishing the bail bonds/surety bonds by him to the satisfaction of the Chief Judicial Magistrate/Illaqa Magistrate, Ludhiana.
