Gurmeet Singh Vs State of Punjab

The case of the prosecution, registered on the basis of a secret information is to the effect that the petitioners along with five others were carrying 175 kgs of poppy husk in a truck No. RJ-19-3885-LP owned by Gurmeet Singh. Five persons allegedly escaped from the spot when intercepted by the police. Out of the said five persons, two were found to be innocent. Taking up the case of the prosecution as it exists today, it is a case of recovery of 175 kgs of poppy husk, recovered from the joint possession of five persons. Since a dual version regarding the involvement of seven persons, mentioned in the FIR, has cropped in, it will be debatable point whether each of the accused could be said to be in joint possession of the commercial quantity of poppy husk.

¶13

Without expression of any opinion on merits of the case, both the petitions are allowed and the petitioners are ordered to be released on bail on furnishing bail bonds/surety bonds to the satisfaction of the trial Court subject to the condition that they will not commit the similar offence of which they are accused of. In case of any such eventuality, the prosecution will be at liberty to seek cancellation of bail.
