M 7308 of 2009).\n<\/p>\n<p>             The case of the prosecution, registered on the basis of a<br \/>\nsecret information is to the effect that the petitioners along with five others<br \/>\nwere carrying 175 kgs of poppy husk in a truck No. RJ-19-3885-LP owned<br \/>\nby Gurmeet Singh. Five persons allegedly escaped from the spot when<br \/>\nintercepted by the police. Out of the said five persons, two were found to<br \/>\nbe innocent. Taking up the case of the prosecution as it exists today, it is a<br \/>\ncase of recovery of 175 kgs of poppy husk, recovered from the joint<br \/>\npossession of       five persons. Since a dual version regarding the<br \/>\ninvolvement of seven persons, mentioned in the FIR, has cropped in, it will<br \/>\nbe debatable point whether each of the accused could be said to be in joint<br \/>\npossession of the commercial quantity of poppy husk.\n<\/p>\n<p>             Without expression of any opinion on merits of the case, both<br \/>\nthe petitions are allowed and the petitioners are ordered to be released on<br \/>\nbail on furnishing bail bonds\/surety bonds to the satisfaction of the trial<br \/>\nCourt subject to the condition that they will not commit the similar offence<br \/>\nof which they are accused of.
