Whether Reporters of Local Newspapers may be allowed to see the judgment ? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not ? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest ? *** AJAY TEWARI, J (Oral) The petitioner seeks grant of regular bail in case FIR No.1, dated 3.2.2011, registered under Sections 409, 420, 467, 468, 471, 120-B of the IPC, and Section 13(1)(D)(2) of the Prevention of Corruption Act, at Police Station Crime, Phase-IV, SAS Nagar, Mohali. Learned counsel for the petitioner has stated that now the petitioner has been in custody for the last 119 days and that in the case of co-accused Vikramjit Singh, bail was granted by this Court after he was incarcerated for about four months and the present petitioner has undergone longer than Vikramjit Singh. Counsel for the respondent, on instructions from DSP Jagjit Singh Jattana, states that in the cases of some other co-accused viz Yogesh CRM- M 27609 of 2011 ::2:: Dutta and Rajinder Singh, they were incarcerated upto five months before they were released on bail. Apart from that, he has argued that the present petitioner is the main accused. In this view of the matter, I deem it appropriate to balance both the considerations. It is informed that now the matter is fixed before the trial Court for 4.1.2012. Let the petitioner be released on bail by the trial Court to its satisfaction on the date fixed. Petition stands disposed of. ( AJAY TEWARI ) December 14, 2011. JUDGE `kk'
