October 18, 2010 on the allegation that he alongwith his co-accused Satyavir was found to be carrying 6.5 kg. of opium in an unnumbered car driven by the petitioner. Counsel for the petitioner has contended that the petitioner was deputed by the co-accused to drive his Car from Hissar to Patiala to attend a marriage without petitioner knowing the fact that it was a stolen Car or that the co-accused was carrying 6.5 kg of opium with him. Petitioner claims that he is absolutely innocent not involved in any other case. Crl. Misc. No. M-31299 of 2011 [2] After hearing counsel for the petitioner and perusing the allegations against him, it does not appear to be a case where in the light of provisions of Section 37 of the NDPS Act, the petitioner could be granted the concession of bail. No doubt, the trial has not been concluded though a period of one year has elapsed, since the petitioner has been in custody. Dismissed at this stage with liberty to file fresh after a period of six months in case the trial is not concluded in the said period. November 9, 2011 (M.M.S.BEDI) sanjay JUDGE
