Crl. Misc. No.M-326 of 2011 (O&M) Mewa Singh Vs. State of Punjab Present : Mr. H.S. Batth, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Gazi Mohammad, D.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.61 dated 01.06.2009 registered under Sections 302, 449, 323, 324, 325, 148, 149 IPC at Police Station Valtoha, District Tarn Taran. Learned counsel for the petitioner has argued that the petitioner has now been in custody for the last 1 year and 10 months and apart from the fact that no role was attributed in the FIR, another supervening factor which has come into existence is that an application under Section 319 Cr.P.C. has been allowed and some persons have been summoned for 06.04.2011. He has further argued that there is no likelihood that the trial would be concluded within a reasonable time. On instructions from S.I. Jagdish Rai learned Deputy Advocate General, Punjab has accepted these factual assertions. He has further stated that in the subsequent statement recorded under Section 161 Cr.P.C. the petitioner has been attributed brick bat injury on the deceased. Learned counsel for the petitioner has however argued that in the medico legal report there is no corresponding injury of the brick bat on the chest of the deceased. Crl. Misc. No.M-326 of 2011 (O&M) -2- Be that as it may, in my considered opinion it would be in the interest of justice if the petitioner is released on bail to the satisfaction of the trial Court. Ordered accordingly. Petition stands disposed of. ( AJAY TEWARI ) March 29, 2011. JUDGE ashish
