CRM No. M-13968 of 2009 (O&M) Date of decision: 25.9.2009 Jatinder Kumar and another ...Petitioners Versus State of Punjab ...Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJAN GUPTA Present: Mr. P.S. Rana, Advocate, for the petitioners. Mr. Shailesh Gupta, DAG, Punjab. Rajan Gupta, J (oral). Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that he be allowed to withdraw the present petition in respect of petitioner No.1. Dismissed as withdrawn qua petitioner No.1. In respect of petitioner No.2, learned counsel for the petitioners submits that only role attributed to him is that he caught hold of the injured while the injury was inflicted on him by petitioner No.1. Learned counsel for the State has opposed the prayer for bail on the ground that allegations against petitioner No.2 are serious in nature. Keeping in view the facts and circumstances of the case and the fact that petitioner No.2 is stated to be in custody since 8th February, 2009, no useful purpose will be served by detaining this petitioner in custody during the pendency of the trial as the trial may take long time CRM No. M-13968 of 2009 2 to conclude. So, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, this petition is allowed qua petitioner No.2 and the petitioner No.2 (Ram Dular) is directed to be released on bail to the satisfaction of Chief Judicial Magistrate/Duty Magistrate, Mohali.
