IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Criminal Misc. No. 5893 of 2009 (O&M) Date of decision : April 16, 2009 Balinder alias Kala and others ....Petitioners versus State of Haryana ....Respondent Coram: Hon'ble Mr. Justice Pritam Pal Present : Mr. Dinesh Arora, Advocate for the petitioners Mr. SS Pattar, Sr. DAG Haryana Pritam Pal,J. (Oral) Petitioners have brought this petition under section 439 of Code of Criminal Procedure for seeking regular bail in case FIR No. 186 dated 31.8.2006 under sections 194, 120, 211 IPC and 25, 54, 59 of Arms Act, registered at Police Station Sadar, Panipat. Learned counsel for the petitioners contends that all the three petitioners were on bail in this case. However, on one date during the trial i.e. on 30.10.2008, they failed to appear. He further contends that, in fact, sister of brother no. 2 had expired on 25.10.2008 whereas petitioner Nos. 1 and 3 had wrongly noted down the date of this case and as such they could not appear on the aforesaid date. The trial is likely to take a long time as the evidence of the prosecution is yet to be concluded. All the three petitioners are in custody for the last five months. Criminal Misc. No. 5893 of 2009 (O&M) -2- In the given facts and circumstances and without commenting on the merits of the case, the petitioners are ordered to be released on bail on their furnishing bail/surety bonds to the satisfaction of the trial court. Criminal Misc. is disposed of. ( Pritam Pal ) April 16, 2009 Judge 'dalbir'
