IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Crl. Misc. No. M- 17329 of 2011(O&M) Date of Decision: July 5, 2011. Gurpreet Singh @Deepa son of Harbans Singh. ...... PETITIONER(s) Versus State of Punjab. ...... RESPONDENT (s) CORAM:- HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE RAM CHAND GUPTA Present: Mr. S.P.S.Sidhu, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. H.S.Gill., D.A.G., Punjab ***** RAM CHAND GUPTA, J.(Oral) This is an application for regular bail filed under Section 439 of Code of Criminal Procedure in FIR No.18 dated 20.01.2010, under Sections 302/307/506/148/149 IPC and Sections 25/27 of Arms Act, 1959, registered at Police Station Jagraon, District Ludhiana (Rural). I have heard learned counsel for the parties and gone through the record. It has been argued by the learned counsel for the petitioner that he has been continuing in custody since 09.02.2010. Further contends that CRM No.M-17329 of 2011 no role has been attributed to the petitioner except that he was present alongwith co-accused at the time of occurrence and that no overt act has been attributed to the present petitioner. Further contends that similarly placed co- accused, namely, Gurpreet Singh son of Kuldip Singh has already been granted regular bail by coordinate Bench of this Court vide order dated 26.05.2011 passed in Criminal Misc. No.M-9917 of 2011, Annexure P2. These facts have not been disputed by learned counsel for the respondent-State. There are no allegations on behalf of the State that petitioner is likely to abscond or that he is likely to dissuade the witnesses from deposing true facts in the Court, if released on bail. Hence, keeping in view these facts and without expressing any opinion on merits, the instant application for regular bail filed on behalf of Gurpreet Singh @Deepa is allowed. Bail to the satisfaction of CJM/Duty Magistrate, Ludhiana. ( RAM CHAND GUPTA) July 5, 2011 JUDGE ‘om’ 2
