The petitioners seek grant of regular bail in case FIR No.182, dated 6.10.2010, registered under Sections 307, 326, 324, 323, 148, 149 of the IPC, at Police Station Raikot District Ludhiana. Crl. Misc No. M 17652 of 2011 The petitioner-Atwinder Singh has been in custody since 28.2.2011. Counsel for the petitioner has argued that the petitioner is not Crl. Misc No. M 17652 of 2011 : 2 : named in the FIR but subsequently he is alleged to have present at the place of occurrence by the name of Giri. He has further argued that the petitioner is also alleged to have given a kirpan blow. Counsel for the respondent, on instructions from HC Rupinder Singh, has accepted that there is no evidence with the police as on date that petitioner-Atwinder Singh is also known as Giri. Crl. Misc No. M 23844 of 2011 The petitioner-Mandeep Singh has now been in custody since 29.12.2010. The allegations against him are that he gave a kirpan blow. However, injuries in respect of which Section 307 of the IPC has been invoked, are fractures on both the legs. Counsel for the respondent, on instructions from HC Rupinder Singh, has accepted the factual assertions. In these circumstances, I deem it appropriate to grant the concession of bail to the petitioners. Bail to the satisfaction of the trial Court/Duty Magistrate, Ludhiana. Petitions stand disposed of.
