Crl. Misc. No .M-32723 of 2011 -1- IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Crl. Misc. No .M-32723 of 2011 Date of decision: 19.12.2011 Angrej Singh @ Geja ......Petitioner Vs. State of Punjab ...Respondent CORAM:-HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE L.N. MITTAL. Present: Mr. A.K. Walia, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr. R.S. Rawat, AAG Punjab *** L.N. MITTAL, J. (Oral). Angrej Singh @ Geja accused has filed this petition for bail in case FIR No.68 dated 13.09.2011 under Sections 458, 323, 506, 34, 325 and 459 IPC registered at Police Station Khanauri, District Sangrur. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the case file. According to the prosecution version, the petitioner armed with 'gandasi' alongwith other co-accused entered into the house of the complainant and inflicted a gandasi blow from the reverse side on left jaw of complainant's brother Ranjha Ram resulting in fracture of jaw i.e. grievous hurt. Learned counsel for the petitioner contended that the petitioner is in custody since 27.09.2011 i.e. for almost three months. Learned State counsel seeking instructions from ASI Satnam Crl. Misc. No .M-32723 of 2011 -2- Singh admitted this factual position. It was also contended that offence under Section 325 IPC is bailable whereas it is debatable if offence under Section 459 is made out or not. The prosecution version is that the petitioner and his co- accused entered the house of the complainant prima-facie bringing the case within the purview of Section 459 IPC. However, learned State counsel submitted that investigation has since been completed and challan has already been presented. Trial is likely to take time. In view of the aforesaid without meaning to express any opinion on merits of the case, the petition is allowed. Bail to the satisfaction of learned Chief Judicial Magistrate/Duty Magistrate, Sangrur.
