IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Crl. Misc. No. M- 18997 of 2010(O&M) Date of Decision: October 5, 2010. Angrej Singh ...... PETITIONER(s) Versus State of Punjab ...... RESPONDENT(s) Present: Mr. Sunil Agnihotri, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. K.D.Sachdeva, Addl.A.G., Punjab. ***** RAM CHAND GUPTA, J.(Oral) This is an application for regular bail filed under Section 439 of Cr.P.C. in FIR No.32 dated 05.03.2005, under Sections 379/427/34 IPC, registered at Police Station Machhiwara, Tehsil Samrala, District Ludhiana. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and gone through the record. It has been argued by the learned counsel for the petitioner- accused that though he absented from the Court and left abroad without seeking permission from the Court on the assurance given to him that he would get employment there and however, he could not get any regular job CRM No.M-18997 of 2010 there. Further contends that now he has been continuing in custody since 23.01.2010. Further contends that entire family of petitioner has been involved in this case and that there is no specific allegation against petitioner–accused rather he has been involved in this case as he is son of main accused. Further contends that he will continue to appear before learned trial Court on each and every date of hearing and face trial. It has been contended by learned counsel for the State that case is now fixed for 07.10.2010 for remaining evidence of prosecution and that two witnesses have been examined so far. Case is triable by Magistrate and the same is not likely to be decided in near future. Hence, keeping in view these facts and without expressing any opinion on merits, the instant application for regular bail filed on behalf of Angrej Singh is allowed. Bail to the satisfaction of CJM/Duty Magistrate, Ludhiana subject to any conditions that may be deemed to be imposed to secure presence of petitioner during trial, taking into consideration his previous conduct. The present petition is disposed of accordingly. ( RAM CHAND GUPTA ) October 5, 2010. JUDGE 'om' 2
