IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Crl.Misc.No.M-12456 of 2009 Date of Decision:- 06.07.2009 Jaspreet Singh @ Jassi ....Petitioner(s) vs. State of Punjab ....Respondent(s) *** CORAM:- HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE AUGUSTINE GEORGE MASIH *** Present:- Mr.Narinder Lucky, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr.Amandeep Singh Rai, AAG, Punjab. *** AUGUSTINE GEORGE MASIH, J. (Oral) By this order, I propose to dispose of two criminal miscellaneous petitions i.e. Crl.Misc.No.M-12456 of 2009 (Jaspreet Singh @ Jassi vs. State of Punjab) and Crl.Misc.No.M-12549 of 2009 (Pardeep Singh vs. State of Punjab). Counsel for the petitioners contends that petitioner-Jaspreet Singh is in custody since 19.4.2008 while petitioner-Pardeep Singh is in custody since 28.11.2008. He further states that the next date which is fixed before the trial Court for framing of charge is 9.7.2009. Since the charge has not been framed as yet, the trial is not likely to conclude soon. He further submits that the petitioners have not been named in the F.I.R. nor any specific attribution has been made to them, except the statement made by Sukhwinder Singh who has specifically named the petitioners to be armed with weapons. Crl.Misc.No.M-12456 of 2009 -2- Counsel for the respondent, on the other hand, submits that the petitioners have caused grievous injuries which are dangerous to life, to the injured and the complainant with their sharp edged weapons and, therefore, do not deserve the concession of bail. I have heard counsel for the parties and gone through the records of the case. Petitioner-Jaspreet Singh @ Jassi is in custody since 19.4.2009 whereas petitioner-Pardeep Singh is in custody since 28.11.2008. Keeping in view the fact that no specific injury has been attributed to the petitioners in the F.I.R. or in the statement of Sukhwinder Singh, which is a matter of evidence to determine as to what act was done by each of the accused, apart from the fact that the co-accused of the petitioners, namely, Daljit Kumar, who is similarly situated, has been enlarged on bail vide order dated 29.9.2008 passed by this Court in Crl.Misc.No.M-17737 of 2008, the present petitioners are directed to be released on bail to the satisfaction of the trial Court.
