JUSTICE PRITAM PAL ***** PRITAM PAL, J(ORAL): The aforesaid four petitions filed by the petitioners under Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure for seeking regular bail arise out of the one and the same F.I.R.No.90 dated 11.07.2007 under Sections 302, 307, 382, 326, 325, 324, 323, 148, 149 I.P.C., and 25, 27, 29 of Arms Act, registered at Police Station Rajasansi (Amritsar), therefore, the aforesaid petitions are being disposed of by this common order. Admittedly, in this case all the assailants, who had caused injuries to the deceased, are in custody. It is also an admitted fact that none of the petitioners, in the aforesaid four petitions, had caused any injury to the deceased. However, they are alleged to have caused injuries to the complainant and other injured witnesses and all those injuries attributed to them (petitioners) are simple in nature. Petitioners Dilbagh Singh and Joginder Singh are in custody since 15.07.2007, petitioner Lakhwinder Singh is in custody since 10.08.2007 and petitioners Jaspal Singh and Criminal Misc.No.M-3877 of 2009 -3- Ravinder Singh are in custody since 21.07.2007. In this case, only one prosecution witness has been examined so far. Thus, the trial is likely to take long time. In the given facts and circumstances and without commenting on the merits of this case, the petitioners in the aforesaid four petitions are ordered to be released on bail on their furnishing bail/surety bonds to the satisfaction of Chief Judicial Magistrate/Duty Magistrate, Amritsar. The aforesaid four criminal misc. petitions are disposed of. February 24, 2009 (PRITAM PAL) mamta-II JUDGE
