Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest ? *** AJAY TEWARI, J (Oral) The petitioner seeks grant of regular bail in case FIR No.57/2009, dated 2.6.2009, registered under Sections 307, 323, 148, 149 of the IPC, and Sections 25/27 of the Arms Act, at Police Station Kahnuwan, District Gurdaspur. On 20.7.2011, the following contention was noticed :- “ Learned counsel for the petitioner states that the petitioner has now been in custody for more than 5 months and it is a cross version case where persons from the petitioner's side also received injuries.” Thereafter, on 8.9.2011, counsel for the complainant raised the Crl. Misc No. M 21350 of 2011 ::2:: contention that as a result of the injuries, the injured has become permanently disabled. Subsequent to that, on the directions of this Court a medical board was constituted whose opinion was placed on record on the last date of hearing. As per the said opinion, the injured has suffered disability of 47% which is permanent in nature. Fortified by this, counsel for the complainant has opposed the prayer for grant of bail of the petitioner. Counsel for the petitioner has argued that it is a cross version case where two persons from the petitioner side also received injuries and that the petitioner has now been in custody for 9 months. Counsel for the respondent, on instructions from ASI Chandan Singh, has accepted the factual assertions. In these circumstances, without commenting upon the merits of the case, I deem it appropriate to grant the concession of bail to the petitioner. Bail to the satisfaction of the trial Court/Duty Magistrate, Gurdaspur. Petition stands disposed of. ( AJAY TEWARI ) November 01, 2011. JUDGE `kk'
