Petitioners have filed this petition under Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure for grant of regular bail in case FIR No.3 dated 26.5.2010, under Sections 363,366-A,120-B of Indian Penal Code, registered at Police Station Canal Colony, District Bathinda. Learned counsel for the petitioners has submitted that Meena has eloped with Prabh Dev @ Prabh Dayal. Petitioners being friends of said Prabh Dev have been falsely involved in this case. Petitioners are in custody since 3.8.2010. Learned State counsel, on the other hand, has opposed the petition. Crl. Misc. No. M-27937 of 2010 (O&M) 2 Keeping in view the fact that the petitioners are in custody since 3.8.2010, it would be just and expedient to release the petitioners on bail. Whether the petitioners are guilty of the alleged offence or not would more appropriately be gone into and considered during trial. Accordingly, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, this petition is allowed. Petitioners be admitted to bail subject to the satisfaction of the Chief Judicial Magistrate/Duty Magistrate, Bathinda. (SABINA) October 14, 2010 JUDGE Anand
