Mittal Present : Mr. JP Singh, Advocate, for the petitioner Mr. Gaurav Garg Dhuriwala, AAG Punjab L.N. Mittal, J. (Oral) Amarjit Singh alias Amar Singh has filed this petition for bail in case FIR No. 196 dated 25.12.2007, under section 21 of NDPS Act, Police Station Mamdot, District Ferozepur. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the case file. According to the prosecution version, one kilogram heroin was recovered from the petitioner and three kilograms from his co-accused son. Learned counsel for the petitioner vehemently contended that police party of Narcotic Cell, Amritsar allegedly made recovery at Ferozepur and the independent witness is also of district Tarn Taran and although the petitioner and his son were allegedly caught at Dhaba, no person from there was joined. Criminal Misc. No. M-2944 of 2009 -2- Learned State counsel on the other hand contended that quantity of heroin is of commercial quantity and therefore, the petitioner does not deserve the concession of bail. It was also contended that Deputy Superintendent of Police, a gazetted officer from Ferozepur district also witnessed the recovery. Keeping in view the aforesaid but without commenting anything on the merits, I am of the view that the petitioner does not deserve the concession of bail. The bail petition is accordingly dismissed.
