No. M-11310 of 2011 (O&M) Date of decision: 26.04.2011 Jorawar Singh ....Petitioner Versus State of Punjab ....Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE ALOK SINGH Present: - Mr. Prateek Pandit, Advocate, for the petitioner. 1.Whether Reporters of local papers may be allowed to see the judgment? 2.Whether to be referred to the Reporters or not? 3.Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? ***** ALOK SINGH, J (ORAL) Present petition has been filed seeking regular bail in case FIR No.7 dated 17.1.2011 under Sections 21/61/85 of NDPS Act, 1985, Police Station Kotwali, Kapurthala. Record reveals that four accused, namely, Kewal Singh, Ayshad Iqbal, Zafar Iqbal ad Jorawar Singh (present petitioner) were coming in one car bearing registration No.JK-02-AL-2229 on 17.1.2011. They were stopped and given option in accordance with NDPS Act and thereafter checked by DSP-D. On checking petitioner was found carrying 230 gms of heroin while Ayshad Iqbal, Zafar Iqbal and Kewal Singh were found in possession of 300 gms, 200 gms and 270 gms of heroin, respectively. All the four accused were in the same and one vehicle. Learned counsel for the petitioner states that as per the Crl. Misc. No. M-11310 of 2011 (O&M) -2- scientific report material recovered from the possession of the petitioner was found containing 40.29% diacetylmorphine that is why petitioner is entitled to be released on bail considering total narcotic substance found in the material. I do not agree with the arguments advanced by the learned counsel for the petitioner. Even if for the sake of arguments, 40.29% diacetylmorphine is taken into account then also if entire quantity recovered from all the four accused is taken into account, it would come under the definition of commercial quantity. Considering totality of the facts and circumstances of the case, I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail. Dismissed. (Alok Singh) Judge April 26, 2011 R.S.
