Crl. Misc. No. M-30764 of 2011 (O&M) 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. Case No. : Crl. Misc. No. M-30764 of 2011 (O&M) Date of Decision : November 29, 2011 Vinod Babal .... Petitioner Vs. State of Punjab .... Respondent CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE L. N. MITTAL * * * Present : Mr. J. S. Chahal, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Shailesh Gupta, DAG, Punjab. * * * L. N. MITTAL, J. (Oral) : Crl. Misc. No. 63193 of 2011 : Application is allowed and Annexures P-16 to P-21 are taken on record, subject to all just exceptions. Main Case : Accused Vinod Babal has filed this petition for anticipatory bail in case FIR No.46 dated 27.04.2011, under Section 15 of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985 (in short – the Act) registered at Police Station Sadar, District Bathinda. Crl. Misc. No. M-30764 of 2011 (O&M) 2 I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the case file. According to the prosecution version, Balero vehicle was intercepted by the police and 350 kilograms of poppy husk was recovered from it. The petitioner, who was one of the occupants of the vehicle, fled away, whereas his three other co-accused, who were also occupants of the said vehicle, were arrested at the spot and one of them told that the person, who had fled, was the present petitioner. The petitioner was immediately named in the FIR. At this stage, there is nothing on record to doubt the prosecution version. Keeping in view the recovery of commercial quantity of poppy husk, the petitioner does not deserve the concession of anticipatory bail. Accordingly, without meaning to express any opinion on merits of the case, the instant petition for anticipatory bail is dismissed. November 29, 2011 ( L. N. MITTAL ) monika JUDGE
