IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Crl. Misc. No. M-15796 of 2009 Date of decision: July 17, 2009 Karam Singh & another -Petitioners Versus State of Punjab -Respondent Coram Hon'ble Mr. Justice Rajan Gupta Present: Mr. Suresh Goel, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr. Shilesh Gupta, DAG, Punjab. Rajan Gupta, J.(Oral) Mr. Goel submits that petitioner No.1 is attributed Sota blow on the back of the complainant while petitioner No.2 has been attributed Khunda blow on abdomen & back of the complainant. According to the counsel, all the injuries are simple in nature. Learned counsel further submits that the petitioners are in custody since 22-2-2009 and as the prosecution evidence has just commenced, the trial is likely to take some time to conclude. He prays for bail on this ground. The prayer for bail is opposed on the ground that the allegations against the petitioners are serious in nature. However, keeping in view the fact that the trial is likely to take some time to conclude as also the fact that petitioners are in custody for the last about 5 months, no useful purpose would be served by detaining them in custody. The instant petition is allowed and both the petitioners namely, Karam Singh & Jagsir Singh Gaggi, are directed to be enlarged on bail to the satisfaction of Chief Judicial Magistrate/Duty Magistrate, Barnala.
