Prayer in the present petition is for grant of bail pending trial to the petitioner in a case registered against him under Sections 306/34 IPC. On 19.5.2011, this court passed the following order: “The next date in the trial Court is stated to be 26.5.2011. From the perusal of order of the trial court dated 10.5.2011, it is revealed that PW Resham Singh was present but he moved an application for adjournment on the ground that he was not feeling well. Summons of remaining PWs received back unserved and the trial court has observed that these PWs are evading their service. Therefore, PWs Sukhdev Singh, Amarjit Kaur and Kashmir Singh have been summoned through bailable warrants for 26.5.2011. Counsel for the complainant has stated at the bar that these witnesses will be produced on the next date positively. In case the witnesses are not produced, the law will take Criminal Misc. No. M-3185 of 2011 [2] its own course.” Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that after passing of the order by this court, the case in the court below was fixed twice, i.e., 26.5.2011 and 4.7.2011. On both the dates of hearing, prosecution witnesses, who are the complainant and his wife-Amarjit Kaur have not appeared before the court. Learned counsel for the complainant does not know as to why the complainant is not producing his witnesses in the court, on account of which the trial is being unnecessarily delayed and the petitioner is languishing in jail. He is father-in-law of the deceased. Husband of the deceased has already been released on regular bail. Considering the aforesaid facts, the petitioner is directed to be released on bail pending trial on furnishing of his bail bonds to the satisfaction of Chief Judicial Magistrate/Duty Magistrate, Ferozepur. The petition stands disposed of. (Rajesh Bindal) Judge 25.7.2011 mk
