IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Criminal Misc. No. M-18265 of 2009 (O&M) Date of decision: 12.10.2009 Nirbhay Singh and another .. Petitioners v. State of Punjab .. Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJESH BINDAL Present: Mr. Ajay Pal Singh, Advocate for the petitioners. Mr. A. S. Brar, Senior Deputy Advocate General, Punjab. Mr. Sandeep Mann, Advocate for the complainant. .. Rajesh Bindal J. Prayer in the petition is for grant of regular bail to the petitioners, who are accused in FIR No. 49 dated 11.7.2007, registered under Sections 420/353/186/506/120-B IPC, Police Station, Longowal, District Sangrur. Learned counsel for the petitioners submitted that the petitioners are in custody for the last about two years. The case is triable by the Magistrate. Trial is not proceeding as evidence of the prosecution is not being led. Under the circumstances, the petitioners should not be kept in jail for indefinite period. Learned counsel for the State submitted that there are serious allegations against the petitioners and considering that they not deserve the concession of bail. After hearing learned counsel for the parties and considering the period of custody, which the petitioners have already undergone during the pendency of trial before the learned Magistrate, in my opinion, they deserve the concession of bail pending trial. Accordingly, it is directed that the petitioners shall be released on bail pending trial on furnishing of bail bonds to the satisfaction of Chief Judicial Magistrate/Duty Magistrate, Sangrur. The petition stands disposed of. (Rajesh Bindal) Judge 12.10.2009 mk
