CRM No.M-23845 of 2011 Manjeet Singh @ Ghora versus State of Punjab Present:- Mr. A.S.Khara, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Abhishek Chautala, AAG, Punjab. ***** Ajay Tewari, J. (Oral) This petition has been filed under Section 439 Cr.PC for regular bail in FIR No.4 dated 04.02.2010 under Sections 307, 324, 323 & 34 IPC registered at Police Station Balianwali, Distt. Bathinda. On 10.08.2011, following contentions were noticed: “Learned counsel for the petitioner has relied upon statement of Neuro Surgeon (Annexures P-2 & P-3) wherein doctor has opined that deceased was recovering well but died due to sudden cardiac arrest after taking some tablet. Learned counsel has further stated that petitioner has now been in custody for last 1½ years and trial is not likely to conclude in the near future.” Learned State counsel, on instructions from SI Bhag Singh, has accepted this factual assertion though he has argued that the statement of one doctor cannot be the basis of adverse opinion against the prosecution. That may be so and it is clearly without giving any opinion on the merits of the case and for the reason that the benefit of doubt at this stage should be given to the petitioner. The petitioner shall be released on furnishing bail bonds and surety bonds to the satisfaction of the trial court. The petition stands disposed of. September 05, 2011 (Ajay Tewari) sonia Judge
