Criminal Misc.-M No. 17029 of 2011 [1] IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Criminal Misc.-M No. 17029 of 2011 (O&M) Date of decision: 27.9.2011 Maninder Singh @ Sethi .. Petitioner Vs. State of Punjab .. Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJESH BINDAL Present: Mr. Premjit S. Hundal, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. K. S. Pannu, Deputy Advocate General, Punjab. ... Rajesh Bindal J. Prayer in the present petition is for grant of regular bail to the petitioner, who is in custody since 16.12.2010, in FIR No. 258 dated 15.11.2010, registered under Sections 306/34/120-B IPC, Police Station, Division `A' Amritsar. Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner was merely a neighbourer of the deceased who committed suicide by consuming sulphas tablets. The allegations in the FIR are that earlier there was a fight between the parties, which was settled. Still the petitioner and his brother were nursing a grudge and were insulting the deceased. The submission is that this cannot lead to instigate a person to commit suicide. On the other hand, learned counsel for the State submitted that as the petitioner was regularly harassing the deceased by insulting and abusing him, he was forced to commit suicide. After hearing learned counsel for the parties and considering Criminal Misc.-M No. 17029 of 2011 [2] the submissions made above and also his period of custody, in my opinion, the petitioner deserves concession of bail pending trial. He is directed to be released on furnishing of bail bonds to the satisfaction of Chief Judicial Magistrate/Duty Magistrate, Amritsar. The petition stands disposed of.
