The prayer in this petition is to release the petitioner on regular bail in case F.I.R.No.90 dated 17.5.2006 under Section 324/307 IPC registered at Police Station, Samrala, District Ludhiana. As per the allegations contained in the F.I.R, the petitioner allegedly caused injury on the chest of the complainant with a screw driver while the complainant was driving the motor-cycle. Initially the F.I.R. was registered under Section 324 IPC, however, subsequently Section 307 IPC was also added. It is contended on behalf of the petitioner that prima facie no offence under Section 307 IPC is made out. In addition, learned counsel for the petitioner also relies upon an alleged compromise deed (Annexure P-2) whereby it is claimed that the petitioner and the complainant had removed their misgivings and have compromised the dispute. Crl.Misc. No.12362-M of 2007 -2- Investigation is already over and challan is ready for presentation. After hearing learned counsel for the parties and having regard to the above-noticed contention but without expressing any views on the merits of the case lest it should prejudice either of the parties, this petition is allowed. The petitioner is directed to be released on bail to the satisfaction of the Chief Judicial Magistrate, Ludhiana. March 15, 2007 ( SURYA KANT ) poonam JUDGE
