IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH CRM-M-32322-2011 (O&M) Date of decision:31.10.2011 Shankar Lal ...Petitioner Versus State of Punjab ...Respondent CORAM: HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE RAKESH KUMAR JAIN Present: Mr. Vijay Sharma, Advocate, for the petitioner. ***** Rakesh Kumar Jain, J. This is a petition for grant of regular bail in a pending trial case registered vide FIR No.156 dated 29.08.2010, under Sections 22/61/85 of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985 [for short “the Act”] at Police Station Division No.7 (Vardhman), District Ludhiana. According to the prosecution, the petitioner was apprehended by the police near Sacred Heart School, Sector 39, Ludhiana and 480 grams of cocaine was recovered from his possession. Learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that the petitioner has been falsely implicated in the present case. He has also submitted that the provisions of Section 50 of the Act have not been complied with. I have heard learned counsel for the petitioner and have perused the record. There is nothing in the bail application which could suggest non-compliance of Section 50 of the Act, whereas the bail application has been opposed by the public prosecutor before the learned Court below. Since the recovered cocaine falls within the commercial quantity, therefore, in view of Section 37 of the Act I do not find it to be a fit case for grant of bail. Hence, the present petition is hereby dismissed. October 31, 2011 (Rakesh Kumar Jain ) vinod* Judge
