Crl.Misc. No. M-32554 of 2010 -1- IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Crl.Misc. No. M-32554 of 2010 Date of Decision:- 15.11.2010 Dilraj Singh and another ..Petitioners Versus State of Punjab ..Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJAN GUPTA Present: Mr. Bikramjit Arora, Advocate for the petitioners. Ms. Ambika Luthra, AAG, Punjab *** RAJAN GUPTA, J. (ORAL) This is a petition under Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure seeking Regular Bail in a case registered against the petitioners under Sections 323/324/148/149 IPC( later on added Section 326 IPC) vide F.I.R No. 74 dated 16.8.2010, at Police Station Sirhali, District Tarn Taran. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that investigation of the case has already been completed and the petitioners have been in custody since 23.9.2010. Thus, no useful purpose will be served by detaining the petitioners in custody any longer. Learned State counsel has, however, opposed the prayer for bail on the ground that the allegations against the petitioners are serious in nature. Keeping in view that the investigation has been completed and the report under Section 173 Cr.P.C has been submitted before the Competent Court of Jurisdiction and the fact that offences mentioned in the F.I.R are triable by Magistrate. I am of the considered view that no useful purpose would be served by detaining the petitioners any longer. Without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, I Crl.Misc. No. M-32554 of 2010 -2- deemed it appropriate to grant bail to the petitioners. Accordingly, the petition is allowed and the petitioners are ordered to be released on bail to the satisfaction of Chief Judicial Magistrate/Duty Magistrate, Tarn Taran.
