No. M-12332 of 2010 (O&M) Date of decision: June 29, 2010 Ravi Panday ...Petitioner Versus State of Punjab ...Respondents CORAM:- HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE GURDEV SINGH Present: Mr. Hemant Saini, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr. AS Brar, Sr. DAG, Punjab. GURDEV SINGH, J. Heard. Petitioner-Ravi Panday son of Ram Asish, has filed this petition under Section 439 of the Criminal Procedure Code for grant of regular bail in FIR No. 82 dated 19.5.2009 registered at Police Station 'C' Division, Amritsar, under Sections 21, 22, and 29 of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985 and Section 25 of the Arms Act, 1959. As per the contents of the FIR, neither the present petitioner was apprehended on the spot, nor any narcotic drug was recovered from his possession. He was arrested subsequently on the basis of the alleged disclosure statement made by the original accused-Saurav Partap Singh, who stated that he had purchased the smack, so recovered from him, from the present petitioner. It has been submitted by learned counsel for the petitioner that the petitioner is coming in the jail for the last one year since the date of the Crl. Misc. No. M-12332 of 2010 2 registration of the FIR. In that eventuality, it becomes debatable if the smack was purchased by Saurav Partap Singh from the present petitioner. No other evidence has been collected against him during the investigation. Under the circumstances, the petitioner is ordered to be released on bail to the satisfaction of Judge, Special Court/Duty Magistrate, Amritsar, subject to the following conditions:- (i) he shall not offer any any threat, promise, or inducement to any person acquainted with the facts of the case so as to dissuade him from disclosing the same to the Investigating Officer/Court; and (ii) he shall not leave the limits of this country without prior permission of the Court. The petition is disposed of accordingly. June 29, 2010 (GURDEV SINGH ) prem JUDGE
