State of Punjab …..Respondent CORAM: HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE M.M.S. BEDI. -.- Present:- None for the petitioner. -.- M.M.S. BEDI, J. (ORAL) In an FIR of 2003, under Immoral Traffic Act, the co-accused of the petitioner have been acquitted. The petitioner was declared a proclaimed offender on October 14, 2009. He has been in custody w.e.f. March 23, 2011. The trial seems to have not been concluded though the petitioner has been in custody for the last about 5 months. The period of detention suffered by the petitioner will certainly have a deterrent effect on him not to abscond again. Crl. Misc. No.M-21011 of 2011 [2] Petition is allowed. Petitioner is ordered to be released on bail, in case he has not been acquitted till date, on his furnishing bail bonds for a sum of ` 20000/-with one surety to the satisfaction of the trial Court. It will be appreciated in case the trial Court decides the case within a period of six months. August 17, 2011 (M.M.S.BEDI) sanjay JUDGE
