Respondent *** CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE AJAY TEWARI *** Present : Mr. Navneet Sodhi, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr.J.S.Brar, AAG Punjab Mr. Kuldeep Sanwal, Advocate for the complainant. *** 1. 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.61, dated 16.6.2010, registered under Sections 302, 324, 323, 148, 149 of the IPC, at Police Station Sri Hargobindpur. On 18.7.2011, the following contention was noticed :- “ Learned counsel states that the petitioner was only protecting the possession of his land and during the occurrence he himself received serious injuries and he has now been in custody for the last one year and one month.” Counsel for the complainant has, however, argued that in the CRM- M 20811 of 2011 ::2:: complaint, filed by the petitioner they have not taken the plea of self defence. Counsel for the respondent, on instructions from ASI Daljit Singh has accepted the fact that the petitioner has now been in custody since 27.6.2010. In these circumstances, without commenting upon the merits of the case and keeping in view the period of incarceration suffered by the petitioner and the fact that the trial is not likely to be concluded in the near future, I deem it appropriate to grant the concession of bail to the petitioner. Bail to the satisfaction of the trial Court/Duty Magistrate, Gurdaspur. Petition stands disposed of. ( AJAY TEWARI ) December 21, 2011. JUDGE `kk'
