JUSTICE SABINA Present: Mr.JBS Gill, Advocate, for the petitioners. Mr.Amandeep Singh Rai, AAG, Punjab. Mr.K.S.Kahlon, Advocate, for the complainant. **** SABINA, J. This petition has been filed under Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure for grant of regular bail in case FIR No. 50 dated 18.3.2010, under Sections 302/ 34 of the Indian Penal Code registered at Police Station Mukerian District Hoshiarpur. Learned counsel for the petitioners has submitted that co- accused Hazara Singh has since been allowed bail by this Court vide order dated 9.11.2010 (Annexure P-2). The case of the petitioners is also on the similar footing. Learned State counsel, who is assisted by learned Criminal Misc. No.M-33523 of 2010 (O&M) -2- counsel for the complainant, on the other hand, has opposed this petition. Keeping in view the fact that co-accused Hazara Singh has already been allowed bail, it would be just and expedient to release the petitioners on bail. Accordingly, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, this petition is allowed. The petitioners are ordered to be admitted to bail subject to the satisfaction of Chief Judicial Magistrate/ Duty Magistrate Hoshiarpur. (SABINA) JUDGE December 09, 2010 anita
