and that after the petitioner was apprehended, an amount of ₹8 lakh was recovered from him.

¶22

Ld. counsel contends that petitioner has been falsely implicated; that co-accused-Joginder Singh has already been allowed bail by the Court of Sessions vide order dated 30.01.2024 (Annexure P2); that petitioner is in custody for the last more than 5 months and trial may take time to conclude; that the case is triable by Magistrate and so, he be allowed bail.

¶23

Ld. State counsel opposed the petition by submitting that name of the petitioner has surfaced in the disclosure statement of co-accused Joginder Singh and that recovery of an amount has been effected from him. However, ld. State counsel concedes the fact that it will be a matter of trial as to whether the amount of ₹8 lakh, as recovered from the petitioner, is connected with the snatched amount or not.

¶24

As per the custody certificate, petitioner is in custody for the last 5 months and 25 days; though he is involved in two more cases, which pertain to the NDPS Act. Case is triable by Magistrate and trial may take time to conclude.

¶25

Ld. State counsel on instructions from ASI Tarlok Singh also informs that although challans has been filed in Court, but charges are yet to be framed. Thus trial is likely to take long time to conclude.

¶26

Having regard to all the facts and circumstances, but without commenting anything further on merits of the case, petition is allowed. Petitioner is admitted to regular bail on his furnishing requisite bail bonds and surety bonds to the satisfaction of the trial Court/Duty Magistrate concerned, on usual terms and conditions.
