CRM-M No. 6980 of 2011 **** Satnam Singh vs. State of Haryana Present: Mr. K.S.Godara, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr.Man Mohan Sikka, DAG, Haryana. **** This is a petition for anticipatory bail filed in case bearing FIR No.16 dated 14.02.2011, under Sections 17,18, 27(a), 61, 85 of NDPS Act and Sections 411, 420,467, 468 and 471 IPC (added later on), registered at Police Station Odhan, District Sirsa. The primary contention of learned counsel for the petitioner is that no recovery was made from the petitioner and even the recovery made was of 25 grams of opium and that was only from his brother Raja on whose disclosure statement the petitioner is sought to be implicated. Learned DAG, on the other hand, states that the petitioner has earlier been convicted of a similar offence involving 1 Kilogram opium and has served out his sentence. Learned counsel for the petitioner reiterated that that may have been so but in the present case there is nothing to implicate the petitioner and that he is sought to be implicated only on the basis of disclosure statement and nothing has been recovered from him and, therefore, he should be granted anticipatory bail. In my opinion it would be in the interest of justice if the petitioner surrenders before the Judge, Special Court, Sirsa who is directed to decide his application for bail within a period of 10 days in case he so CRM-M No. 6980 of 2011 -2- surrenders. Ordered accordingly. Petition stands disposed of. ( AJAY TEWARI ) JUDGE April 25, 2011 sunita
