(Oral) This is an application seeking regular bail in case FIR No. 96 dated 3.09.2010, under Sections 302/34 IPC, registered at Police Station Nurpur Bedi. Learned counsel for the petitioner has vehemently argued that as per the prosecution story, petitioner was said to have given beating to Balbir Kumar @ Lucky. Petitioner- accused was not said to be armed with any weapon nor he was said to have inflicted any grievous or serious injury on CRM M-3587 of 2011 the body of the deceased. It has further been argued that as per the FIR, deceased was given beating because he has sent some SMS and has given some telephonic calls to the daughter of Sohan Lal. Learned counsel has stated that there is a marriage in the family of the accused on 18.02.2011, hence, present petition be heard on 16.02.2011. Argument of the learned counsel for the petitioner seems to have substance. Considering the totality of the facts and circumstances of the case, I directed that the petitioner be released on bail to the satisfaction of the learned Trial Court.
