IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Crl. Misc No. M-14921 of 2009 Date of decision : 03.08.2009 Sukram Pal ....Petitioner V/s State of Haryana ....Respondent BEFORE : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJAN GUPTA Present: Mr. S.S. Narula, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Tarun Aggarwal, Sr. DAG Haryana. RAJAN GUPTA J. (ORAL) This is a petition for grant of regular bail in a case registered against the petitioner under Sections 307/411/34 IPC and 27/54/59 of Arms Act at police station Israna, District Panipat vide FIR No. 34 dated 08.03.2009. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the complainant has already been examined before the trial court. However, he has resiled from his statement implicating the petitioner. Learned counsel further submits that only allegation against the petitioner is that he caught hold of the complainant, Moti Ram while the shot was fired by one Charan Singh. However, Charan Singh is stated to be in custody. According to the counsel, petitioner has undergone incarceration since 12.03.2009. In view of the situation that the complainant is stated to have resiled from the statement and the fact that injury attracting offence under Section 307 IPC is not attributed to the petitioner, I feel the petitioner deserves to be released on bail. Crl. Misc No. M-14921 of 2009 -2- However, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case and taking into consideration the fact that trial will take long time to conclude, I deem it appropriate to grant regular bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, the petition is allowed and he is ordered to be enlarged on bail to the satisfaction of Chief Judicial Magistrate, Panipat. 03.08.2009 (RAJAN GUPTA) Ajay JUDGE
