IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATES OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. Cr.Misc. M 25293 of 2011 Date of decision: 28.9.2011 Suridner Singh @ Shinda petitioner vs State of Punjab respondent Present:- Mr. DS Sandhu, Advocate Mr. Kirat Singh, DAG, Punjab M.M.S.BEDI, J. The petitioner has been in custody w.e.f. 8.3.2011. His bail application has been declined by the trial court as he remained a proclaimed offender in a case of the year 1991. Learned counsel for the petitioner informs that the co-accused of the petitioner Vijay Kumar stands already acquitted. It appears that despite nine opportunities having been given to the prosecution w.e.f. March 2011 but no witness has been examined. The period of detention suffered by the petitioner seems to be sufficient enough to deter him to abscond again. The petition is allowed and the petitioner is ordered to be released on bail on furnishing bail bond for a sum of Rs.50,000/- with one surety of the like amount to the satisfaction of the trial court.
