IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Crl. Misc. No. : M-31159 of 2011 (O&M) Date of Decision: December 20, 2011 Peter Obenike ... Petitioner Versus State of Haryana .... Respondent CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE M.M.S. BEDI Present: Mr. Harmandeep Singh Saini, Advocate for the petitioner. Ms. Shalini Attri, DAG, Haryana. * * * * M.M.S. BEDI, J. (oral) Petitioner seeks concession of regular bail in a case of recovery of 20 gms. of heroine from Noori Deep. She had allegedly made a statement that she is working as carrier of Caroline. Subsequently, she had made another statement that it was petitioner for whom she was working. Without expression of any opinion on merits, it is sufficient to observe that actually the recovery has not been affected from the petitioner. It will be debatable whether on the basis of the statement of co- accused, petitioner could be convicted unless there is corroborative evidence. The petitioner is in custody w.e.f. 19.08.2011. Petitioner is ordered to be released on bail on his furnishing bail/surety bonds to the satisfaction of the trial Court. Petitioner will not leave India during the pendency of the trial. (M.M.S. BEDI) December 20, 2011 JUDGE sarita
