Crl. Misc No. M 23728 of 2011 ::1:: IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Crl. Misc No. M 23728 of 2011 Date of decision : November 01, 2011 Amarjit Singh @ Tatto and another, ...... Petitioners v. State of Punjab, ...... Respondent *** CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE AJAY TEWARI *** Present : Mr. A.S.Barnala, Advocate for the petitioners. Mr. Sumeet Abrol, AAG Punjab *** 1. Whether Reporters of Local Newspapers may be allowed to see the judgment ? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not ? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest ? *** AJAY TEWARI, J (Oral) The petitioners seek grant of regular bail in case FIR No.19, dated 15.4.2011, registered under Sections 382, 341, 411, 201, 34 of the IPC, at Police Station Mehal Kalan, District Barnala. On 8.8.2011, the following contention was noticed :- “ Learned counsel has argued that the petitioner was not originally named in the FIR and now he has been in custody since 30.6.2011.” Apart from that, counsel for the petitioners has argued that there is no other case pending against the petitioners. He has further stated that the conclusion of the trial is likely to take more time and that no useful purpose would be served by incarcerating the petitioners any further. Crl. Misc No. M 23728 of 2011 ::2:: Counsel for the respondent, on instructions from SI Ashok Kumar, has accepted the factual assertions but has argued that in view of the fact that recoveries have been made from the petitioners, they should not be granted the concession of bail. In my considered opinion, in view of the fact that the petitioners have now been in custody for four months, it would not be in the interest of justice to deny them bail. In these circumstances, without commenting upon the merits of the case, I deem it appropriate to grant the concession of bail to the petitioners. Bail to the satisfaction of the trial Court/Duty Magistrate, Barnala. Petition stands disposed of. ( AJAY TEWARI ) November 01, 2011. JUDGE `kk'
