Whether Reporters of Local Newspapers may be allowed to see the judgment ? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not ? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest ? *** AJAY TEWARI, J (Oral) The petitioner seeks grant of regular bail in case FIR No.130, dated 22.3.2010, registered under Sections 420, 465, 467, 468, 471, 120-B of the IPC, at Police Station Division No.5, Ludhiana. Counsel for the petitioner has argued that the matter relates to evasion of VAT and that the co-accused of the petitioner has been granted the concession of bail. Counsel for the respondent, on instructions from ASI Harbans Singh, states that there can be no parity because the co-accused was in custody for more than one year. To this, counsel for the petitioner states that there were two similar cases pending against the co-accused. Be that as it may, without commenting upon the merits of the CRM- M 33135 of 2011 ::2:: case and keeping in view the period of incarceration suffered by the petitioner, I deem it appropriate to grant the concession of bail to the petitioner. Bail to the satisfaction of the trial Court/Duty Magistrate, Ludhiana. Petition stands disposed of. ( AJAY TEWARI ) December 21, 2011. JUDGE `kk'
