Petitioner vs. State of Punjab ...... Respondent *** CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE AJAY TEWARI *** Present : Mr. Satpreet Grewal Kapila, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Jaspreet Singh, A.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 FIR No.221 dated 29.11.2010 registered under Sections 489-A, 489-B, 489-C, 420 IPC at Police Station City Gurdaspur, District Gurdaspur. On 21.11.2011, the following contention was noticed:- “Learned counsel has argued that in this case of alleged recovery of `6,40,000/- of fake currency the petitioner has now been in custody for almost one year and the trial is not progressing.” Additionally learned counsel for the petitioner has argued that CRM-M No.33870 of 2011(O&M) ::2:: the antecedents of the petitioner are clean. Learned Assistant Advocate General on instructions from ASI Satinder Singh has accepted these factual assertions though he states that the evidence is very well underway. Learned counsel for the petitioner states that from the statement of learned Assistant Advocate General it is clear that the trial is not likely to be concluded in the near future. Keeping in view the entire conspectus of facts, without commenting on the merits of the case, I deem it appropriate to grant the concession of regular bail to the petitioner to the satisfaction of the trial Court/Duty Magistrate. Ordered accordingly. Petition stands disposed of. ( AJAY TEWARI ) December 20, 2011 JUDGE ashish
