IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Criminal Misc.No. M- 5507 of 2010 Date of decision:- 09.4.2010 Avtar Singh ...Petitioner Versus State of Punjab ...Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAM CHAND GUPTA Present:- Mr. B.S. Kathuria, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Gaurav Garg Dhuriwala, AAG Punjab assisted by ASI Amrik Singh. RAM CHAND GUPTA J.(Oral) The present petition filed under Section 439 Cr.P.C. for grant of regular bail to the petitioner in case FIR No.33 dated 02.4.2007, under Sections 419,420,467,468,471 and 120-B IPC, registered at Police Station Dakha, Police District Jagraon, 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 petitioner that petitioner and complainant are real brothers. It is further contended that the case is triable by Magistrate and that the petitioner has been continuing in custody since 20.11.2009. It is further contended that even the charge has not been framed so far and that trial will take some time to conclude. Learned counsel for the respondent-State does not dispute these facts. There are no allegations on behalf of the State that the 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. In view of these facts and without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, the present petition for regular bail to the petitioner Avtar Criminal Misc.No. M- 5507 of 2010 -2- Singh is accepted. Bail to the satisfaction of Chief Judicial Magistrate/Duty Magistrate, Ludhiana. April 09, 2010 ( RAM CHAND GUPTA ) vj JUDGE
