Criminal Misc. No. M-26753 of 2009 [1] IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Crl. Misc. No. M-26753 of 2009 (O&M) Date of decision: 4.11.2009 Gurinder Singh @ Binda .. Petitioner v. State of Punjab .. Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJESH BINDAL Present: Mrs. Baljit Mann, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Mehardeep Singh, Deputy Advocate General, Punjab. ... Rajesh Bindal J. The petitioner, who is accused in FIR No. 57 dated 11.6.2009, registered under Sections 307/326/325/324/323/34/148/149 IPC, Police Station, Nihal Singh Wala, District Moga, has prayed for grant of regular bail. He is in custody since 9.6.2009. Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner has been falsely implicated. The dispute was in fact between Gurpreet Singh son of Darbara Singh and another Gurpreet Singh son of Jagdish Singh. The petitioner is a student of 10+2. In fact, his father is a supporter of Congress Party and the complainant is a Member Panchayat belonging to the ruling party. The FIR has been registered two days after the alleged incident, which is a result of detailed consultation process, in which four injuries have been specifically attributed to five persons, as if they had caused the injuries turn by turn. She has further submitted that even though the injured was referred to Government Hospital from Nihal Singh Wala but the injured went to D.M.C., Ludhiana and on the basis of x- ray report by the Radiologist at D. M. C., Ludhiana, the doctor at Nihal Singh Wala opined the injury to be grievous in nature without consulting the Radiologist. Even the alleged weapon of offence has not been recovered from the petitioner. There are total 36 witnesses and the trial will take long time. On the other hand, learned counsel for the State submitted that there are specific allegations against the petitioner in the FIR. He has caused injury on the head of the complainant and he does not deserve the concession of bail. After hearing learned counsel for the parties and considering the fact Criminal Misc. No. M-26753 of 2009 [2] that the petitioner is a student of 10+2, I deem it appropriate to direct his release from jail pending trial so that he can pursue his studies. Accordingly, it is directed that the petitioner shall be released on bail on furnishing of bail bonds to the satisfaction of Chief Judicial Magistrate/Duty Magistrate, Moga. The petition stands disposed of. (Rajesh Bindal) Judge 4.11.2009 mk
