State of Punjab ......Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE RAM CHAND GUPTA Present: Mr.Suveer Sheokand, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr.Gaurav Garg Dhuriwala, AAG, Punjab. ...... RAM CHAND GUPTA, J.(Oral) The present petition filed under Section 439 Cr.P.C. is for grant of regular bail to the petitioner in case FIR No.162, dated 2.7.2009, under Sections 392/34 IPC, registered at Police Station Focal Point, District Ludhiana.. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and have gone through the whole record carefully. It has been contended by learned counsel for the petitoner that petitioner has been continuing in custody since 2.7.2009 and that even charges have not been framed so far. It has further been contended that case is triable by learned Magistrate and it will take time for trial to conclude. Hence, it is contended that no purpose would be served by keeping the petitoner in custody. Learned State counsel, on instructions from Jagdish Raj, ASI, has not disputed these facts. There are no allegations on behalf of the State that petitioner is likely to abscond or that he is likely to dissuade the witnesses from deposing true facts in the Court, if released on bail. The conclusion of trial will take some time. Offence is triable Crl.M.No.M 33493 of 2009 (O&M) -2- by learned Magistrate. Hence, in view of these facts and without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, the present petition filed by Abdul Majeed, for regular bail is allowed. Bail to the satisfaction of trial Court/Duty Magistrate, Ludhiana. 18.3.2010 (Ram Chand Gupta) meenu Judge
