Prayer in the present petition is for grant of pre-arrest bail to the petitioner who is accused in FIR No. 50 dated 22.6.2011, registered under Sections 22/61/85 of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, at Police Station City-II, Abohar, District Ferozepur. Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner has the franchisee of Tata Tele Services Limited and also having a shop for selling of utensils. The alleged recovery of medicines, which are considered as drugs, was made from the room of his son, who earlier was a licenced chemist. His licence has now been cancelled. The petitioner has nothing to do with the recovery. Son of the petitioner has been arrested and is in custody. Learned State counsel did not dispute the fact that the petitioner has a franchisee of Tata Tele Services Limited and owing a shop of utensils. Recovery was also made from the room of the son of the petitioner, who is involved in two other cases. The petitioner is not involved in any other case.
