Crl. Misc. No. M-36019 of 2009 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Crl. Misc. No. M-36019 of 2009 DATE OF DECISION: January 28, 2010 Gurjant Singh and another ` .........PETITIONER(S) VERSUS State of Punjab ......RESPONDENT(S) CORAM:HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE AJAI LAMBA Present: Mr. S.S. Gill, Advocate, for the petitioner(s). Mr. Gaurav Garg Dhuriwala, AAG, Punjab. AJAI LAMBA, J. (ORAL) This petition has been filed under Section 439 Cr.P.C. for bail in case FIR No. 252 dated 29.10.2008 under Sections 304/324/34 IPC (Section 304 IPC added later on), P.S. City Rajpura, District Patiala. Learned counsel for the petitioners contends that the petitioners are in custody since 25.09.2009. No legal purpose would be served by further detention of the petitioners. Learned counsel further states that parties had entered into a compromise whereupon a cancellation report was prepared. Before the same could be filed and accepted, the complainant died. Wife of the complainant thereafter was agitated and again got the case reopened. Learned counsel for the respondent-State, on instructions from Crl. Misc. No. M-36019 of 2009 2 H.C. Netar Singh, states that indeed the parties had entered into a compromise. Cancellation report was also prepared. Learned counsel, however, states that after about a month of the incident, there was infection in the wound of the complainant. Condition of the complainant deteriorated and he finally died after about six months whereupon Section 304 IPC was added. I have considered the contention of the both the sides. Considering the admitted fact that the parties had entered into a compromise; cancellation report had already been prepared; Section 304 IPC was added after six months; the deceased died on account of Septicaemia and multiple organ failure, this petition is allowed. Bail to the satisfaction of CJM Patiala. 28.01.2010 (AJAI LAMBA) shivani JUDGE
