Crl. Misc. No.M-22315 of 2011 (O&M) Raj Kumari Vs. State of Punjab Present : Mr. Vipin Mahajan, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. S.S. Gill, D.A.G., Punjab. ******* AJAY TEWARI, J. (ORAL) This petition has been filed under Section 439 Cr.P.C. for grant of regular bail to the petitioner in case F.I.R. No.161 dated 19.10.2009 registered under Sections 302, 307, 148, 149, 34 IPC at Police Station Sujanpur, District Gurdaspur, Punjab (Offence u/s 302 IPC added later on and offence u/s 307, 148 and 149 IPC stand deleted). On 29.07.2011, the following contention was noticed:- “Learned counsel states that the petitioner has now been in custody for almost two years and even trial has not yet started.” Learned Deputy Advocate General has stated that even though trial has started but because of an application under Section 319 Cr.P.C. having been filed the trial will have to start de novo. It is not disputed that it was on account of property dispute that this occurrence had taken place and even though the petitioner was attributed the role of lighting the fire the husband of the petitioner is the main accused and is in custody. Crl. Misc. No.M-22315 of 2011 (O&M) -2- Considering the fact that the petitioner is a lady and admittedly she has two minor daughters, I deem it appropriate to release the petitioner on regular bail to the satisfaction of the trial Court/Duty Magistrate. Ordered accordingly. Petition stands disposed of. ( AJAY TEWARI ) September 23, 2011 JUDGE ashish
