Crl.M.No.31506-M of 2010 #1# IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATES OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Crl.M.No.31506-M of 2010 Date of Order: 8.12.2010 Jarnail Singh .....Petitioner Vs. State of Punjab and another .....Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE JASWANT SINGH Present: Ms. Kulwant K.K, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Gaurav Garg Dhuriwala, AAG, Punjab. JASWANT SINGH, J (ORAL) Prayer under Section 439 Cr.P.C is for grant of regular bail in case FIR No.74 dated 9.8.2010 under Sections 420/120-B IPC, P.S Daba, Ludhiana. As per allegations in the FIR lodged by Rachhpal Singh, petitioner along with his non-applicant co-accused Rajpal etc had taken a sum of Rs.2.5 lacs for sending complainant Rachhpal Singh on a work permit Visa to Singapore. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the main allegations are against co-accused Rajpal Singh in whose account, entire amount was paid and the petitioner was only instrumental in getting complainant introduced to co-accused Rajpal. It is further submitted that the petitioner is in custody since 21.9.2010. Learned state counsel, on instructions from ASI Gian Singh, states that the challan has been presented and investigation qua the Crl.M.No.31506-M of 2010 #2# petitioner is over. He concedes that no other FIR is pending against the petitioner. Without commenting upon merit of the case and taking into account the role attributed to the petitioner and the fact that the trial is likely to take sufficient time to conclude, I find that no useful purpose would be served by keeping the petitioner in custody any longer. Accordingly, petition is allowed and the petitioner is ordered to be released on bail to the satisfaction of the learned Chief Judicial Magistrate/Duty Magistrate, Ludhiana.
