IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Criminal Misc. No. M-17823 of 2009 Date of decision : August 28, 2009 Gurwinder Singh ....Petitioner versus State of Punjab ....Respondent Coram: Hon'ble Mr. Justice L.N. Mittal Present : Mr. Vikram Chaudhri, Advocate, for the petitioner Mr. Gaurav Garg Dhuriwala, AAG Punjab with Mr. Karambir Singh, Advocate, for the complainant L.N. Mittal, J. (Oral) On oral request of learned counsel for the petitioner, correction in the head note of the petition is allowed to the effect that the offence is under section 302/34 IPC instead of section 307/34 IPC. Office to do the needful. Gurwinder Singh has filed this petition for bail in case FIR No. 178 dated 7.11.2007 under sections 302 read with section 34 IPC, Police Station Kartarpur, District Jalandhar. Learned counsel for the petitioner contended that bail petition filed by the petitioner in the trial court on 12.2.2009 has not yet been decided. As per submission of learned counsel for the petitioner it appears that pendency of the said bail petition was not pointed out by the petitioner's counsel to the trial court nor the trial court itself kept a trap thereof. The Criminal Misc. No. M-17823 of 2009 -2- said bail application is required to be decided by the trial court as submitted by learned counsel for the petitioner. On the other hand, learned State counsel on instructions from ASI Kashmir Singh contended that the case is fixed in the trial court for 18.9.2009 for defence evidence. However, learned counsel for the petitioner pointed out that the instant case has to be decided by the trial court along with cross case which is a criminal complaint which is at initial stage. In view of the aforesaid, the instant petition is disposed of adverting to merits with direction to the trial court to dispose of the petitioner's pending bail petition within two weeks from 18.9.2009, the next date said to be fixed in the trial court.
