CRM-M No.22621 of 2011 (O&M) *** Ravi Kumar Vs. State of Punjab Present: Mr. H.S. Thiara, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. P.S. Grewal, D.A.G., Punjab. **** AJAY TEWARI, J. (ORAL) This petition has been filed under Section 439 Cr.P.C. for grant of regular bail to the petitioner in case F.I.R. No.174 dated 23.12.2010 registered under Sections 308, 323, 34 IPC at Police Station Navi Baradari, Jalandhar. On 28.07.2011 the following contention was noticed:- “Learned counsel has argued that the petitioner has now been in custody for almost 8 months and no injury is attributed to him.” On instructions from S.I. Malkit Singh learned Deputy Advocate General argues that offence of the petitioner has been rendered more serious because of the fact that he has resorted to this act within the Bakshi Khanna. CRM-M No.22621 of 2011 (O&M) -2- That may be so but in view of the period already spent by the petitioner in custody, without going into the merit of the case, I deem it appropriate to release the petitioner on bail to the satisfaction of the trial Court/Duty Magistrate. Ordered accordingly. Petition stands disposed of. ( AJAY TEWARI ) September 08, 2011 JUDGE ashish
