Crl. Misc No. M 20840 OF 2011 ****** Balvir Kaur @ Beero vs State of Punjab Present : Ms. Garvir Kaur, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. S.S.Gill, AAG Punjab ******* The petitioner seeks grant of anticipatory bail in case FIR No.36, dated 19.3.2011, registered under Section 18 of the NDPS Act, at Police Station Ghall Khurd, District Ferozepur. On 13.7.2011, the following contention was noticed :- “ Learned counsel has argued that the petitioner was not arrested at the spot when this recovery of 1 Kilogram of opium was made.” Counsel for the petitioner has further added that the petitioner is 65 years of age. Counsel for the respondent, on instructions from HC Bhagwan Singh, has accepted the first part of the factual assertion though he states that he has no knowledge about the age of the petitioner. He has also accepted that no other case is registered or pending against the petitioner. In the circumstances, I deem it appropriate to grant the concession of anticipatory bail to the petitioner. Consequently, in the event of her arrest, the petitioner shall be released on anticipatory bail by the Investigating Officer to his satisfaction subject to the conditions as contained in Section 438(2) of the Cr.P.C. Petition stands disposed of. ( AJAY TEWARI ) July 19, 2011. JUDGE `kk'
