IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Crl. Misc. No.49380-M of 2006 DATE OF DECISION:21.9.2006 Balwant Singh & Ors. ..........Petitioners Versus State of Haryana ..........Respondent CORAM:- HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE SATISH KUMAR MITTAL Present:- Shri R.S. Gill, Advocate for the petitioners. Shri Partap Singh, Sr. DAG, Haryana. **** The petitioners have filed this petition under Section 439 Cr.P.C. for the grant of regular bail in case FIR No. 245 dated 5.4.1998 under Sections 332, 333, 353, 379, 148, 149, 506 IPC, registered at Police Station Sadar, Hisar. I have heard counsel for the parties. In this case, the petitioners were on regular bail. On 27.3.2006, the petitioners did not appear before the trial Court therefore, their bail bonds were cancelled. Subsequently, the petitioners themselves surrendered on 25.5.2006 and since then they are in custody. The trial is not going to conclude soon as more than eight witnesses remain to be examined. Keeping in view of this fact and the custody period, I deem it appropriate to grant regular bail to the petitioners and they are accordingly ordered to be released on bail to the satisfaction of trial Court.
