JUSTICE RAJAN GUPTA Present: Mr.Tribhuwan Singh, Advocate for the petitioner Mr.Shilesh Gupta, DAG, Punjab .. RAJAN GUPTA, J.: (Oral) This is a petition under section 439 Cr.P.C. seeking regular bail in a case registered against the petitioner under sections 307/324/447/506/34 IPC vide FIR No.155 dated 11.11.2010 at police station Dhanaula, District Barnala. Learned counsel for the petitioner contends that petitioner is not the main accused and the allegation of causing grievous injuries is attributed to co-accused. He submits that only allegation against the petitioner is that he was driving the tractor and raised a lalkara. He further submits that petitioner is in custody since 11.11.2010 and investigation of the case has been completed. Learned State counsel has opposed the prayer for bail on the ground that allegations against the petitioner are serious. He, however, on instructions from ASI-Harbhajan Crl.Misc.No.M-2847 of 2011 - 2 - Singh who is present in court, does not dispute the fact that investigation has been completed and trial is in progress. Keeping in view the aforesaid contentions, period of custody of petitioner and the fact that investigation has already been completed, I am of the considered view that no useful purpose would be served by detaining the petitioner in custody any longer. Without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, I deem it appropriate to grant regular bail to the petitioner. Bail to the satisfaction of Chief Judicial Magistrate/Duty Magistrate, Barnala. Disposed of. March 21, 2011 ( RAJAN GUPTA ) pc JUDGE 2
