Mr.Rajesh Bhatheja, Advocate, for the petitioner in Crl.Misc.No.M-13842-2011. Mr.P.S.Bajwa, DAG., Punjab. . . . 1 Crl.Misc. No.M-13573 of 2011 M.M.S. BEDI, J (ORAL). This order will dispose of the above noted three petitions i.e., Crl.Misc.No.M-13573 of 2011 filed by Satnam Singh alias Satta, Crl.Misc.No.M-13842 of 2011 filed by Balwinder Singh and Crl.Misc.No.M-20843 of 2011 filed by Harwinder Singh alias Goga, for the grant of regular bail. The above said three petitioners along with one another were found in possession of 140 kgs. of poppy husk contained in 4 bags weighing 35 kgs. each. One co-accused of the petitioners has been granted the concession of pre-arrest bail by this Court. The petitioners have been in custody for a period of about 1 year and 2 months. The entire prosecution evidence has been recorded. Chance of tampering with the evidence is remote. In case the petitioners are released on bail, they can get a fair opportunity to produce their defence evidence as it has been, inter alia, argued that it is a case of false implication of the petitioners along with one alleged handicapped person. Without expression of any opinion on merits, the petitioners are ordered to be released on bail on their furnishing bail bonds/surety bonds to the satisfaction of the trial Court.
