Sadar, Hoshiarpur. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and have gone through the whole record. It has been stated by ld. counsel for the petitioner that petitioner has been continuing in custody since 16.12.2009 and that case is triable by Magistrate. It is further contended that allegation against the petitioner is Crl.Misc.No.M-3008 of 2010 only attempt to commit theft. It is further contended that as trial of this case will take some time, no purpose will be served by keeping the petitioner in custody. Ld. counsel for the State has not disputed these facts.

Hence, in view of these facts and without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, the present bail application filed by Vikas Kaushik @Bibbu is accepted. Bail to the satisfaction of CJM, Hoshiarpur. ( RAM CHAND GUPTA ) March 3, 2010. JUDGE 'om' 2
