Crl.M.No.31546-M of 2010 #1# IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATES OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Crl.M.No.31546-M of 2010 Date of Order: 1.12.2010 Vikas Kumar Bishnoi .....Petitioner Vs. State of Punjab .....Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE JASWANT SINGH Present: Mr. A.K. Khunger, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Gaurav Garg Dhuriwala, AAG, Punjab. JASWANT SINGH, J (ORAL) Prayer under Section 439 Cr.P.C is for grant of regular bail in case FIR No.183 dated 16.8.2010 under Sections 326/325/324/323/148/149/379 IPC, P.S City-I, Abohar, Tehsil Abohar, District Ferozepur. As per allegations in the FIR, petitioner accompanying other non-applicant accused attacked the complainant Suman Kumar Taneja. Petitioner is alleged to have given a kirpan blow on the forehead of the complainant. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has been falsely roped in as the injury attributed to him has been opined to be simple in nature. It is further submitted that the petitioner is in custody since 17.8.2010. Learned state counsel, on instructions from ASI Baljit Singh, states that the injury was caused by kirpan from the blunt side. He concedes Crl.M.No.31546-M of 2010 #2# that the said injury was simple in nature. Without commenting upon merit of the case and taking into account the custody period and the fact that the trial is likely to take sufficient time to conclude, I find that no useful purpose would be served by keeping the petitioner in custody any longer. Accordingly, petition is allowed and the petitioner is ordered to be released on bail to the satisfaction of the learned Chief Judicial Magistrate/Duty Magistrate, Ferozepur.
