the police; co-accused Gurjinder Singh, who was sitting beside the petitioner, had a bag on his lap, which on search was found to contain 4 kgs of heroin. Learned counsel has still further submitted that the petitioner was merely an employee of the co-accused and could not have possibly been aware about the contents of the bag, which was being carried by his employer i.e. co-accused. It has also been asserted by the learned counsel that petitioner has never been involved in any other criminal case much less under the NDPS Act, which further lends credence to his false implication in the instant case. It has further been submitted that the investigation in the present case is complete as challan stands presented and charges framed; there is no possibility of the trial concluding in the near future as none of the 20 prosecution witnesses have been examined so far coupled with the fact that there is no apprehension of the petitioner tampering with evidence or even trying to intimidate or influence the witnesses since all the witnesses are officials.
