Mr.Bhupinder Ghai, Advocate, for petitioner Vikas Kumar in Crl.M.No.M-36269 of 2009. Mr.Karan Vir Nanda, Advocate, for petitioner Parshotam Lal in Crl.M.No.M-36540 of 2009. Ms.Ashima Mor, Advocate, for U.T., Chandigarh. M.M.S. BEDI, J. (ORAL) This order will dispose of the above said three applications for bail filed by Jagsir Singh, Vikas Kumar and Purshotam Lal. In a criminal case which was registered on the basis of a secret information to the effect that accused Surjit Singh of Ferozepur was involved in theft and forging of documents of the motor vehicles, the petitioners were arrested pursuant to the statement made by Surjit Singh after his arrest along with a stolen vehicle. It will be a moot point during trial whether conviction of the petitioners can be sought by the prosecution agency on the basis of disclosure statement of a co-accused. Certain recoveries like number plates, laptops, Blank R.C., forms and non-judicial papers and stepney etc., are alleged to have been made. Since recoveries have been effected and challan has been presented, trial may take a long time to conclude. Without expression of any opinion on merits of the . . . 2 Crl.M.No.M-34045 of 2009 case, petitioners can be granted concession of bail. Petitions are allowed. The petitiones are ordered to be released on bail on their furnishing bail bonds for sum of Rs.20,000/- each, with one surety each. An additional condition is imposed that the petitioners will not commit similar offences of which they are accused of. In case of any such eventuality, it will be open to the prosecution agency to seek cancellation of bail granted to the petitioners. A copy of order be placed in connected files.
