Criminal Misc.-M No. 11195 of 2011 [1] IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Criminal Misc.-M No. 11195 of 2011 (O&M) Date of decision: 20.10.2011 Lakhwinder Singh @ Lakha .. Petitioner Vs. State of Punjab .. Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJESH BINDAL Present: Mr. D. S. Sandhu, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. K. S. Pannu, Deputy Advocate General, Punjab. ... Rajesh Bindal J. Prayer in the present petition is for grant of bail pending trial. Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner is in custody since 24.10.2010. The injuries attributed to him fall within the domain of Section 326 IPC. Those are on non-vital parts of the body, i.e., leg and arm. The prosecution is not leading evidence, as only one out of total 24 prosecution witnesses has been examined. Learned counsel for the State, while not disputing that only one prosecution witness has been examined till date, submitted that considering the fact that the petitioner had caused injuries to the injured with a sharp-edged weapon, he does not deserve concession of bail. After hearing learned counsel for the parties and considering the period of custody of the petitioner and also the fact that the prosecution is not leading evidence and the trial may take some time, in my opinion, Criminal Misc.-M No. 11195 of 2011 [2] 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, Kapurthala. The petition stands disposed of.
