State of Punjab ...... Respondent *** CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE AJAY TEWARI *** Present : Mr. Gursimran Singh, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Sumeet Abrol, A.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.233 dated 07.07.2011 registered under Sections 419, 420, 467, 468, 471 and 120-B IPC at Police Station Civil Lines, District Amritsar City. On 23.08.2011 the following contention was noticed:- “Learned counsel has argued that as per the allegations the main accused entered into an agreement to sell with the complainant and the petitioner was a witness of that agreement. However, the petitioner is not shown to have any knowledge about the documents on the basis of CRM-M No.25070 of 2011(O&M) ::2:: which the main accused claimed to have the right to sell the property of the complainant and the petitioner only having attested the identity of the main accused has now been in custody for 1½ months.” Learned Assistant Advocate General on instructions from ASI Varinder Singh as well as learned counsel for the complainant have stated that the petitioner has accepted in police custody that he had knowledge about the fact that the documents were fake, however, apart from that there is no other evidence against the petitioner. Without commenting any opinion on the merits of the case and keeping in mind the fact that the petitioner has now been in custody for almost 4 months, 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 ) October 03, 2011 JUDGE ashish
