Crl.M.No.31307-M of 2010 #1# IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATES OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Crl.M.No.31307-M of 2010 Date of Order: 8.12.2010 Kulwant Singh .....Petitioner Vs. State of Punjab .....Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE JASWANT SINGH Present: Mr. Rahul Rampal, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Gaurav Garg Dhuriwala, AAG, Punjab. JASWANT SINGH, J (ORAL) Prayer under Section 439 Cr.P.C is for grant of regular bail in case FIR No.139 dated 17.9.2010 under Sections 304/337/338 IPC, P.S Laddowal, District Ludhiana. As per allegations, petitioner in a drunken condition while driving a truck deliberately hit a tractor trolley resulting in the death of two persons and causing injuries to others. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is in custody since 17.9.2010 and that at best the offence made out against the petitioner is under Section 304-A IPC. Learned state counsel, on instructions from ASI Surender Singh, concedes that death of two persons had occurred on account of the truck having hit a tractor trolley from behind. He further concedes that the medical examination of the driver was not conducted to determine his drunken condition. He further states that as far as the petitioner is Crl.M.No.31307-M of 2010 #2# concerned, investigations are over. Without commenting upon merit of the case and taking into account the fact that the trial is likely to take sufficient time to conclude, I find that no useful purpose would be served by keeping the petitioner in custody any longer. Accordingly, petition is allowed and the petitioner is ordered to be released on bail to the satisfaction of the learned Chief Judicial Magistrate/Duty Magistrate, Ludhiana.
