Shri Aman Deep Singh Rai, Deputy Advocate General, Punjab. RAJESH BINDAL, J The prayer in the present petition is for grant of bail pending trial in case FIR No. 54 dated 01.10.2009 under Sections 302, 341, 324, 307, 148 and 149 of the Indian Penal Code, registered at Police Station Narot Jaimal Singh, District Gurdaspur. Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that Sandeep Singh is the deceased in the present case. Injuries on the person of Sandeep Singh have been attributed to Ramesh Kumar alias Rana and Babba son of Balbir Singh Saini. The petitioner has been attributed injury to one Vikrant on his left leg and right cheek. The petitioner is in custody since 2.10.2009. All the co-accused to whom only injuries have been attributed to the injured, have already been released on bail pending trial. The trial has started afresh as the application filed by the prosecution under Section 319 of the Code of Criminal Procedure was allowed and thereafter only two prosecution witnesses have been examined out of total 23 PWs. -2- Crl.Misc.-M 22862 of 2011 Learned counsel for the State, on instructions from ASI Balwinder Singh, did not dispute the aforesaid facts. After hearing learned counsel for the parties and considering the submissions made above, wherein the petitioner has not been attributed any injury to the deceased and also the fact that he is in custody since 2.10.2009; only two prosecution witnesses out of total 23 have been examined and the trial will take long time, in my opinion the petitioner deserves concession of bail pending trial. He is directed to be released on furnishing of bail bonds to the satisfaction of Chief Judicial Magistrate / Duty Magistrate, Gurdaspur. The petition stands disposed of.
