IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Crl. Misc. No. M-11875 of 2009 (O&M) Date of decision: 6.8.2009 Mohd. Nadeem Mohammad .. Petitioner v. State of U. T. Chandigarh and another .. Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJESH BINDAL Present: Mr. Rohit Khullar, Advocate for the petitioner. ... Rajesh Bindal J. Prayer in the present petition is for grant of regular bail in FIR No. 338 dated 24.7.2008, under Sections 399, 402 IPC and 25/54/59 of the Arms Act, P.S. Manimajra, Chandigarh. On 20.7.2009, learned counsel for the petitioner sought time to place on record the list of cases registered against the petitioner and also the status thereof. Today in Court, list of 52 cases registered against the petitioner has been furnished which shows that in majority of cases the petitioner was convicted. The offences for which he was convicted or facing trial are theft, dacoity etc. Considering the fact that the petitioner is involved in a number of cases, I do not find any reason to release the petitioner on bail pending trial. The contention of learned counsel for the petitioner that he is being involved falsely in the cases is not borne out from the list of cases, where he has been convicted. Further, in case the petitioner remains in custody during trial of the present case, the chances of his false implication in the cases will not be there. However, considering the fact that the FIR was registered about a year back and the petitioner is in custody, the trial court is directed to conclude the trial within 6 months of the receipt of a copy of this order. The petition stands disposed of. (Rajesh Bindal) Judge 6.8.2009 mk
