Crl. Misc. No.M-30804 of 2010 (O&M) Mohan Lal Thaman Vs. State of Punjab Present : Mr. J.B.S. Gill, Advocate for Mr.Davinder Bir Singh, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Rajinder Mathur, A.A.G., Punjab. Mr. P.S. Ahluwalia, Advocate for the complainant. ******* This petition has been filed under Section 439 Cr.P.C. for grant of regular bail to the petitioner in case F.I.R. No.23 dated 04.08.2010 registered under Sections 307, 34 IPC and under Sections 25, 27, 54 and 59 of the Arms Act at Police Station Gardhiwala, District Hoshiarpur. It is not disputed that the petitioner has now been in custody for almost 11 months and charge has not yet been framed. Learned counsel for the complainant has however stated that the petitioner should not be granted bail because threats are being given to the complainant. Learned counsel for the petitioner has however argued that the petitioner is an old man who has already undergone By-Pass surgery. In my opinion, the present is a case where the petitioner should be granted the concession of bail. As regards the threats being made to the complainant it is directed that in case the complainant moves an application for protection the same shall be considered on merit. Crl. Misc. No.M-30804 of 2010 (O&M) -2- In the circumstances, without going into the merits of the case, I deem it appropriate to release the petitioner on regular bail to the satisfaction of the trial Court/Duty Magistrate. Ordered accordingly. The petition is disposed of in the above terms. ( AJAY TEWARI ) July 05, 2011 JUDGE ashish
