IN THE PUNJAB AND HARYANA HIGH COURT AT CHANDIGARH 206 CRM-M-28493-2025 Date of Decision: 04.06.2025 RAJJI ... Petitioner VERSUS STATE OF PUNJAB ... Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE VINOD S. BHARDWAJ. **** Present: Ms. Renu Arora, Advocate for the petitioner. (Through video conference) Mr. Teevar Sharma, AAG, Punjab. **** VINOD S. BHARDWAJ, J. (ORAL) The instant petition has been filed for seeking regular bail for the petitioner who has been booked in FIR No.0027 dated 05.02.2025 under Section 21/22/61/85 NDPS Act registered at Police Station Phillaur, District Jalandhar Rural. Learned counsel for the petitioner contends that as per the allegations of the prosecution, the investigating agency, during patrolling, signaled a car to stop. The driver of the car disclosed his name as Harjit Singh while two other persons, including the petitioner herein, were sitting on the conductor seat and back seat respectively. Upon search, two grams of heroin was recovered from the petitioner. She further contends that the petitioner is pregnant by eight months and the quantity of the contraband, that has been alleged to have been recovered from the petitioner, is small. RAJENDER KUMAR 2025.06.04 03:22 I attest to the accuracy and authenticity of this order CRM-M-28493-2025 -2- Learned State Counsel, on the other hand, submits that the present case is the second case that has been registered against the petitioner under the NDPS Act. He further contends that investigation of the case is still pending and challan is yet to be submitted before the Court. He, however, is not in a position to controvert that the quantity, alleged to have been recovered from the petitioner, is small and that the petitioner is pregnant by eight months. Taking into consideration the status of investigation, the recovery being small, the custody of nearly four months and the advanced stage of pregnancy of the petitioner as noticed above, I find that this is a fit case for grant of regular bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, the present petition is allowed and the petitioner namely Rajji wife of Jasveer Ram is hereby ordered to be admitted to regular bail subject to her furnishing adequate bail/surety bonds to the satisfaction of the learned Trial Court/Duty Magistrate, Jalandhar. It is made clear that the petitioner shall not extend any threat and shall not influence any prosecution witnesses in any manner directly or indirectly. The observations made hereinabove shall not be construed as an expression of opinion on the merits of the case and the Trial Court shall decide the case on the basis of material available on record.
