(Oral) This is an application seeking regular bail in case FIR No. 261, dated 06.07.2010, under Sections 302, 148, 149/120-B IPC, registered at Police Station Tripuri, Patiala. CRM M-34576 of 2010 Heard. The allegation against the accused- petitioner, who is a young girl of 22 years, is that she was having affair with Tejinder Singh – accused No.2. Deceased Avtar Singh, while traveling in bus, used to tease the accused-petitioner. To get rid of it, the accused had conspired with Tejinder Singh-accused and consequently, Avtar Singh was murdered by other co-accused. Learned counsel for the petitioner vehemently argued that petitioner has played no role in the murder of Avtar Singh and petitioner has been booked with the help of Section 120-B IPC only. Learned counsel for the petitioner while placing reliance on Section 437 Cr.P.C. has argued that since the petitioner is a young girl who is studying, hence, is entitled to be enlarged on bail. Considering totality of the circumstances, I direct that petitioner be released on bail to the satisfaction of the Trial Court. January 27, 2011 ( Alok Singh ) vkd Judge 2
