Whether Reporters of Local Newspapers may be allowed to see the judgment ? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not ? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest ? *** AJAY TEWARI, J (Oral) The petitioner seeks grant of regular bail in case FIR No.18, dated 27.2.2010, registered under Sections 15/61/85 of the NDPS Act, at Police Station Maur, District Bathinda. Counsel for the petitioner has relied upon the order dated 23.3.2011, passed in Crl. Misc No. M 224 of 2011 filed by co-accused of the petitioner, to contend that the petitioner should also be granted the concession of bail since he has now been in custody for one year and seven months. Counsel for the respondent, on instructions from ASI Rajbir Singh, has not disputed this factual assertion but has stated that co-accused Crl. Misc No. M 21097 of 2011 ::2:: of the petitioner viz Satish Kumar was granted bail because one accused had not been arrested who has now been arrested and charge has also been framed. Be that as it may, since the fact of incarceration of the petitioner has not been disputed, I deem it appropriate to grant the concession of bail to the petitioner. Of-course, if the petitioner is found guilty, he would be liable to undergo whatever punishment imposed upon him. Bail to the satisfaction of the trial Court/Duty Magistrate, Bathinda. Petition stands disposed of. ( AJAY TEWARI ) October 21, 2011. JUDGE `kk'
