RESPONDENT(s) CORAM:- HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE RAM CHAND GUPTA Present: Mr. Sarbjit Singh, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. K.D.Sachdeva, Addl.A.G., Punjab. ***** RAM CHAND GUPTA, J.(Oral) This is an application for regular bail filed under Section 439 of Code of Criminal Procedure in FIR No.5 dated 11.01.2010, under Sections 328/379/34 IPC, registered at Police Station G.R.P. Amritsar, District Amritsar. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and gone through the record. It has been argued by the learned counsel for the petitioner that petitioner has been continuing in custody since 12.01.2010. It is further CRM No.M-24986 of 2010 contended that trial is not likely to be concluded in near future as no witness has been examined so far. It is further contended that similar co-accused has already been granted regular bail by this Court in Crl.Misc.No.M-12656 of 2010. These facts have not been disputed by learned counsel for the State. There are no allegations on behalf of the State that petitioner is likely to abscond or that he is likely to dissuade the witnesses from deposing true facts in the Court, if released on bail. Hence, keeping in view these facts and without expressing any opinion on merits, the instant application for regular bail filed on behalf of Gagan Kumar @Raju, is allowed. Bail to the satisfaction of CJM/Duty Magistrate, Amritsar. However, learned CJM/Duty Magistrate is free to impose any conditions for ensuring the presence of petitioner during trial.
