IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Crl. Misc. No. M-258 of 2010 Date of decision:February 11, 2010 Karamjit Singh Petitioner Versus State of Punjab Respondent CORAM : HON'BLE MRS. JUSTICE DAYA CHAUDHARY Present: Mr. N.S. Dadwal, Advocate for the petitioner Mr. B.S. Sra, Addl. A.G. Punjab DAYA CHAUDHARY, J. (ORAL) The present petition has been filed under Section 439 Cr.P.C. for grant of regular bail to the petitioner in FIR No. 281 dated 15.11.2008 registered under Sections 365, 366, 376/34 IPC at Police Station Jagraon, District Ludhiana. Learned counsel for the petitioner contends that it is a case of false implication and the prosecutrix is a married lady of 29 years of age and she remained with the petitioner for 28 days and at the most it is a case of consent. Learned counsel for the petitioner further contends that the petitioner has already undergone 1 years and 3 months of sentence. Learned counsel for the respondent – State opposed the bail on the ground that it is a case of single accused and serious allegations are there against him. Moreover, the case is fixed for evidence for 8.3.2010 before the trial Court. Crl. Misc. No. M-258 of 2010 2 Keeping in view the seriousness of offence, I do not think it is a fit case to grant bail at this stage. However, the trial Court is directed to expedite the trial. Dismissed.
