IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Crl. Misc. No. M- 25549 of 2010(O&M) Date of Decision: October 5, 2010. Resham Singh ...... PETITIONER(s) Versus State of Punjab ...... RESPONDENT(s) Present: Mr. Divjyot Singh Sandhu, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. K.D.Sachdeva, Addl.A.G., Punjab. ***** RAM CHAND GUPTA, J.(Oral) This is an application for regular bail filed under Section 439 of Cr.P.C. in FIR No.109 dated 21.06.2010, under Sections 420/406/120-B IPC and Section 24 of Immigration Act, registered at Police Station Sultanpur Lodhi, District Kapurthala. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and gone through the record. It has been argued by the learned counsel for the petitioner that he has been continuing in custody since 23.06.2010. Further contends that case is triable by Magistrate and the same is not likely to be concluded in near future as even charge has not been framed so far. It is also contended CRM No.M-25549 of 2010 that though petitioner issued cheque for the amount to the complainant and however as he was having no money in the account, the same was bounced and separate complaint under Section 138 of Negotiable Instruments Act has been lodged by the complainant against him. Further contends that no purpose would be served by keeping the petitioner in custody. Learned counsel for the State has not disputed these facts. There are no allegations on behalf of the State that petitioner is likely to abscond or that he is likely to dissuade the witnesses from deposing true facts in the Court, if released on bail. Hence, keeping in view these facts and without expressing any opinion on merits, the instant application for regular bail filed on behalf of Resham Singh is allowed. Bail to the satisfaction of CJM/Duty Magistrate, Kapurthala. ( RAM CHAND GUPTA ) October 5, 2010. JUDGE 'om' 2
