CRM No.M-11995 of 2011 -1- IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH CRM No.M-11995 of 2011 Date of decision:- 17.10.2011 Gaje Singh ...Petitioner Versus State of Haryana ...Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE M.M.S. BEDI Present: Mr. Naveen S. Bhardwaj, Advocate for the petitioner. Ms. Shalini Attri, DAG, Haryana. M.M.S. Bedi, J.(Oral) Petitioner seeks concession of regular bail in a case registered at the instance of Parveen Kumari wife of Dalip Singh (deceased). Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the FIR has been registered after delay of five months and that the deceased had died on account of "chronic ischeamic heart disease" as is apparent from his 'Histopathology' report. He has submitted that there are contradictions in different statements made by the complainant and that the case is based on circumstantial evidence. I have heard counsel for the petitioner as well as State counsel and gone through the record. As per the statement of the complainant, he had gone to cut the mustard crop of petitioner along with Harinder, but deceased (Dalip Singh) was stopped by the petitioner. The deceased was allegedly found dead in the field of petitioner. I have gone through the relevant material. The medical evidence which has been produced on the record is also indicative of the fact that there was fracture in the cervical vertebra. I have also considered the CRM No.M-11995 of 2011 -2- contention of counsel for the petitioner in the questionaire to the doctor. The doctor has inter alia admitted the death of the deceased was on account of "chronic ischeamic heart disease" . I have carefully gone through the medical evidence collected during investigation which is indicative of the fact that the second survical vertebra situated at the lower part of the head has been detected during medical examination. It will be premature to adjudicate upon the guilt of an accused solely on the basis of the medical evidence, as the medical evidence is in the nature of corroborative evidence, there are other circumstances pointing towards prima facie connection of the petitioner with the death of Dalip Singh. The present petition is dismissed. However, the trial Court is directed to conclude the trial within a period of six months from the next date of hearing. 17.10. 2011 (M.M.S. BEDI) Jyoti 1 JUDGE
