CRM-M No. 26018 of 2011 **** Kewal Singh v. State of Punjab Present: Mr.Vinod K. Kataria, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Abhishek Chautala, AAG, Punjab. **** This is a petition for regular bail filed in case bearing FIR No. 67 dated 11.05.2010, under Section 15 of the NDPS Act, registered at Police Station Ahmedgarh, District Sangrur. On 06.09.2011 the following contention was noticed:- “Learned counsel has argued that the earlier bail application was dismissed on 12.08.2010. However, despite the passage of more than one year only one witness has been examined and now another accused person has been arrested and, therefore, the prospects of any early conclusion of trial are completely ruled out.” Learned AAG, on instructions from HC Pardeep Kumar, has accepted the factual assertion but has stated that the quantity in the present case is 160 Kilograms of poppy husk and, therefore, the recovery is of commercial quantity. He has also admitted that the petitioner has now been in custody since 11.05.2010. In this view of the matter, without going into the merits of the case, this petition is allowed. Bail to the satisfaction of the learned trial Court/Illaqa Magistrate. ( AJAY TEWARI ) JUDGE September 27, 2011 sunita
