The allegation against the petitioner is that at the time of the alleged occurrence, he was armed with kirpan and had inflicted injury on the head of the injured Randip Singh which was declared dangerous to the life. Learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that it is a case of version and cross-version. Although so far no case has been registered qua the cross version put up by the petitioner's side but the same is being investigated by the Police. Yadvir Singh and Jaskaran Singh from the petitioner's side have also suffered two injuries' in the alleged Crl. Misc. M No. 17400 of 2010 -2- occurrence. Injury on the head of Yadvir Singh has been declared dangerous to life. Petitioner is in custody since 8.5.2010. Learned State counsel, who is assisted by the counsel for the complainant, has opposed the petition. Yadvir Singh from the petitioner's side is alleged to have suffered incised wound on the occipital area and has also suffered incised wound on left forearm. So far as injured-Jaskaran Singh is concerned, he has suffered three injuries. Injuries no. 1 and 2 are incised wounds on the occipital area,whereas, injury No.3 is qua the left little finger which has been chopped off. Although in the present case, no case has been registered qua the cross version but keeping in view the fact that there are only incised wounds suffered by the persons from the petitioner's side and the fact that the petitioner is in custody since 8.5.2010, it would be just and expedient to release the petitioner on bail. Accordingly, without expressing any opinion on the merits of this case, this petition is allowed.
