Crl. Misc. No. M-18268 of 2010 IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATES OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. Crl. Misc. No. M-18268 of 2010 (O&M) Date of decision: 27.7.2010 Jagat Singh alias Jagtar Singh @ Bhana ...Petitioner Versus State of Punjab ...Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJAN GUPTA Present: Mr. A.S. Kalra, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr. Shailesh Gupta, Deputy Advocate General, Punjab. Rajan Gupta, J. (oral) This is a petition under Section 439 Cr.P.C. seeking regular bail in a case registered against the petitioner under Sections 302 read with Section 34 IPC at Police Station Sadar Ludhiana, District Ludhiana, vide FIR No.136 dated 24th July, 2009. The allegation against the petitioner is that he was having illicit relations with wife of the deceased. On 18.7.2009, he alongwith co-accused Paramjit Kaur committed murder of deceased Nazar Singh. Learned counsel for the petitioner has argued that there is no direct evidence to connect the petitioner with the crime. This apart, according to him, the FIR was lodged after six days after due deliberation. After such a considerable delay, possibility of fabrication of false story and false implication of the petitioner cannot be ruled out. Learned State counsel has opposed the prayer for bail on Crl. Misc. No. M-18268 of 2010 the ground that the allegations against the petitioner are serious in nature. He submits that the petitioner is the main accused in the case and he had motive to commit the murder and four material prosecution witnesses have already been examined who have fully supported the prosecution case. I have heard learned counsel for the parties. It is evident that petitioner is accused of having illicit relations with wife of the deceased. It is alleged that due to this motive, he alongwith Paramjit Kaur committed the murder of deceased. It appears that trial has made much headway by way by now and four prosecution witnesses have already been examined. Keeping in view the fact and circumstances, I am of the considered opinion that no case is made out to enlarge the petitioner on bail. The petition is devoid of merit. The same is hereby dismissed.
