Crl. Misc. No. M-15463 of 2011 1 IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATES OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. Crl. Misc. No. M-15463 of 2011 (O&M) Date of decision : 23.5.2011 Amir Singh @ Kala ...Petitioner Versus State of Punjab ...Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJAN GUPTA Present: Mr. J.S. Brar, Advocate for the petitioner. Rajan Gupta, J. This is a petition under Section 439 Cr.P.C. seeking regular bail in a case registered against the petitioner under Sections 21 of the NDPS Act at Police Station Kartarpur, District Jalandhar, vide FIR No.99 dated 1st August, 2010. Learned counsel for the petitioner has argued that petitioner is in custody since 1st August, 2010 and prosecution witnesses are not being examined. He submits that the petitioner is, thus, entitled to concession of bail. Allegations against the petitioner are that he along with the co-accused smuggles heroin from Pakistan to Punjab. In the instant occurrence, 1 Kg of heroin was recovered from the accused when they were apprehended. In view of the same, Section 37 of the NDPS Act would be attracted to the present case. I am, thus, of the considered view that the petitioner is not entitled to the concession of bail. The petition is devoid of merit and is Crl. Misc. No. M-15463 of 2011 2 hereby dismissed. It is, however, directed that trial court shall endeavour to expedite the trial. (RAJAN GUPTA) JUDGE 23.5.2011 'rajpal'
