Raneef, 2011(1) RCR (Criminal) 381, has argued that in the event of CRM-M No.31533 of 2010 2 refusal of bail, time spent in the jail cannot be restored to the accused, if ultimately the accused is acquitted by the trial Court. Therefore, the petitioner must be enlarged on bail. He further states that all the material witnesses have not supported the prosecution story. This aspect is not denied by learned Additional Advocate General, Punjab. Considering totality of the facts and circumstances of the case, present petition is allowed. The petitioner is directed to be released on bail during the trial to the satisfaction of the trial Court. ( Alok Singh ) Judge 26.04.2011 sk.
