IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATES OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH CRL.M.NO.18638-M of 2010 (O&M) DATE OF ORDER: 21.7.2010 Babu Ram .....Petitioner vs. State of Punjab ....Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE JASWANT SINGH Present: Mr. Anil Chaudhary, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Gaurav Garg Dhuriwala, AAG, Punjab. JASWANT SINGH, J (ORAL) Prayer is for grant of regular bail in case FIR No.9 dated 20.4.2010 under Sections 15/61/85 of the NDPS Act, P.S. Chhajli, District Sangrur. Allegations against the petitioner are that 20 kg of poppy husk was recovered from him. It is stated that he is in custody since 20.4.2010. Learned state counsel, on instructions from, HC Karam Singh, states that there are three other cases of similar nature pending trial and as such he does not deserve the concession of bail. He further submits that in the present case, challan has been filed. In view of the fact that the contraband recovered is of non- commercial quantity and that the challan has been filed and that the trial is not likely to conclude in near future, no useful purpose would be served by keeping the petitioner in custody. Petition is allowed and the petitioner is ordered to be released on bail to the satisfaction of CJM, Sangrur. July 21, 2010 ( JASWANT SINGH ) manoj JUDGE
