Learned counsel for petitioner submits that petitioner has been falsely implicated in this case. He further submits that FIR was registered on the basis of secret information, but the same was not reduced into writing and forwarded to immediate superior officer. There is violation of mandatory provisions of NDPS Act. Nothing is to be recovered from the petitioner. No useful purpose would be served by keeping petitioner behind bars.

Notice of motion. 5. Mr. K.D. Sachdeva, learned DAG, Punjab, accepts notice on behalf of the respondent-State and vehemently opposes the prayer made by learned counsel for the petitioner. He submits that the petitioner is a habitual offender and is involved in 05 more criminal cases. He further submits that the petitioner has already filed three petitions seeking regular bail before this Court, all of which have been dismissed. Therefore, according to him, the present petition deserves to be dismissed. 6. I have heard the learned counsel for the parties and have perused the record. 7. Keeping in view the facts and circumstances of the case, particularly the fact that the petitioner is involved in five more criminal cases, out of which four are under the NDPS Act which reflects criminal antecedents and indicates that the petitioner is a habitual offender; that the sentence in the present case has not yet commenced, as the petitioner is presently undergoing sentence pursuant to his conviction in another case, this Court does not find any ground to grant the concession of regular bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, the present petition as well application for interim bail to the petitioner is dismissed. 8. Pending applications, if any, shall also stand disposed of.
