Criminal Misc. No. M-16978 of 2010 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Criminal Misc. No. M-16978 of 2010 Date of decision : 05.07.2010 Jasvir Kumar and others ....Petitioners V/s State of Punjab ....Respondent BEFORE : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJAN GUPTA Present: Mr. P.S. Ahluwalia, Advocate for the petitioners. Mr. Shailesh Gupta, Deputy Advocate General, Punjab. RAJAN GUPTA J. (ORAL) This is a petition filed under Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure seeking regular bail in a case registered against the petitioners vide FIR No. 22 dated 20.05.2010 under Sections 323/324/307/427/148/149 IPC at Police Station Chabbewal, District Hoshiarpur. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that he does not press the present petition for regular bail qua petitioners No. 2 at this stage. Dismissed as withdrawn qua petitioner No. 2. As regards petitioners No. 1, 3 & 4, Mr. Ahluwalia submits that no injury has been attributed to petitioner No. 3 and simple injuries have been attributed to petitioners No. 1 & 4 in the occurrence. He submits that trial of the case is likely to take some time to conclude, no useful purpose would be served by detaining them in custody during the pendency of the trial. Prayer for bail has been opposed by learned State counsel on Criminal Misc. No. M-16978 of 2010 2 the ground that allegations against the petitioners No. 1,3 & 4 are serious in nature. However, keeping in view the fact that petitioners No. 1,3 & 4 have been in custody since 25.05.2010, no useful purpose will be served by detaining them in custody during the pendency of the trial. Without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, I deem it appropriate to grant regular bail to the petitioners No. 1,3 & 4. Accordingly, the petition is allowed in respect of petitioners No. 1,3 & 4 and they are directed to be enlarged on bail to the satisfaction of Chief Judicial Magistrate/Duty Magistrate, Hoshiarpur.
