Crl. Misc. No. M-33868 of 2011 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. Case No. : Crl. Misc. No. M-33868 of 2011 Date of Decision : December 02, 2011 Mehar Singh and another .... Petitioners Vs. State of Haryana .... Respondent CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE L. N. MITTAL * * * Present : Mr. Vikram Singh, Advocate for the petitioners. Mr. Anil Kumar, DAG, Haryana. * * * L. N. MITTAL, J. (Oral) : By this common order, I am disposing of two bail petitions i.e. Crl. Misc. No. M-33868 of 2011 filed by Mehar Singh and his son Raman and Crl. Misc. No. M-31341 of 2011 filed by Leela wife of Mehar Singh, all seeking bail in case FIR No.111 dated 19.03.2011, under Sections 323, 324 and 34 of the Indian Penal Code (in short – IPC) (Sections 326 and 307 IPC added later on), registered at Police Station Sadar Karnal, District Karnal. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the Crl. Misc. No. M-33868 of 2011 2 case file. Learned counsel for the petitioners seeks permission to withdraw this bail petition qua Raman – petitioner no.2 in Crl. Misc. No. M-33868 of 2011, at this stage. Dismissed as withdrawn, qua petitioner no.2 Raman, at this stage. According to the prosecution version, petitioners along with their co-accused Sompal caused injuries to Birmi, Rajesh and Rambhaj. One injury of Rambhaj has been found to be dangerous to life, whereas one injury of Birmi has been found to be grievous – both caused with sharp weapon. Counsel for the petitioners contended that the petitioners are in custody since 26.08.2011 i.e. for more than three months. It was also contended that injuries falling within the purview of Sections 307 and 326 IPC are attributed to Raman and non-petitioner Sompal and not to Leela and Mehar Singh. The aforesaid factual position is not controverted by learned State counsel, after seeking instructions from ASI Prem Singh. It is also stated that investigation has also since been completed and challan has already been presented in the concerned court. Trial is likely to take time. In view of the aforesaid, Crl. Misc. No. M-33868 of 2011 qua petitioner no.1 Mehar Singh and Crl. Misc. No. M-31341 of 2011 filed by Crl. Misc. No. M-33868 of 2011 3 Leela wife of Mehar Singh, are allowed. They be released on bail to the satisfaction of learned Chief Judicial Magistrate/Duty Magistrate, Karnal. This order is without prejudice to the merits of the case. December 02, 2011 ( L. N.
