Crl. Misc. No.M-2965 of 2011 Usman Vs. State of Punjab Present : Mr. Sarfraj Hussain, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. U.S. Dhaliwal, Addl.A.G., Punjab. AJAY TEWARI, J. (ORAL) This petition has been filed under Section 439 Cr.P.C. for grant of regular bail to the petitioner in case F.I.R. No.193 dated 18.12.2008 registered under Sections 25, 54 and 59 of the Arms Act at Police Station Sadar, Kapurthala. Learned counsel for the petitioner has argued that the petitioner was granted regular bail and was appearing in the Court but thereafter could not appear on one or two dates. After that he voluntarily surrendered before the Court on 23.09.2010. Learned Additional Advocate General, Punjab has however accepted this fact on instructions from Head Constable Paramjit Singh. Learned Additional Advocate General, Punjab states that the other co-accused have also jumped the dates and now their proclamation notices have been issued and in these circumstances, if the petitioner is released it should only be with heavy surety. I find this to be reasonable. Without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, in my considered opinion, it would be in the interest of justice if the petitioner is released on bail to the satisfaction of the learned trial Court on heavy surety. Ordered accordingly. Petition stands disposed of. ( AJAY TEWARI ) March 10, 2011. JUDGE ashish
