Criminal Misc.-M No. 24710 of 2011 [1] IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Criminal Misc.-M No. 24710 of 2011 (O&M) Date of decision: 21.11.2011 Harinder Singh .. Petitioner Vs. State of Punjab .. Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJESH BINDAL Present: Mr. G. N. Malik, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. K. S. Pannu, Deputy Advocate General, Punjab. ... Rajesh Bindal J. Prayer in the present petition is for grant of bail pending trial. Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner is in custody for the last more than six months. The case is triable by the Magistrate. Though in the recovery memo dated 9.5.2011, it is shown that certain fake driving licences were recovered from the drawer of the table of the petitioner, however, the same very documents were recovered by the police from the almirah of ASI Kirpal Singh, Incharge of Narcotic Drugs, Muktsar vide recovery memo dated 16.5.2011. SI-Balkar Singh has signed both the recovery memos. In fact, the petitioner has been falsely implicated. Learned counsel for the State submitted that once there is recovery of fake driving licences from the possession of the petitioner, it is established that he was involved in the crime, he does not deserve concession of bail. After hearing learned counsel for the parties and considering the fact that the petitioner is in custody for the last more than six months Criminal Misc.-M No. 24710 of 2011 [2] and the case is triable by the Magistrate, 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, Sri Muktsar Sahib. The petition stands disposed of.
