(Oral) : Accused Resham Singh has filed this petition for regular bail in case FIR No.41 dated 07.08.2011, under Sections 452, 326, 325, 324, 323, 148, 149 and 34 of the Indian Penal Code (in short – IPC) (Annexure P-1), registered at Police Station Balianwali, District Bathinda. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the case file. According to the prosecution version, the petitioner and his co- accused caused injuries to complainant with sharp and blunt weapons. Crl. Misc. No. M-32833 of 2011 2 Motive for the occurrence was that earlier complainant party had caused injuries to petitioner Resham Singh, for which FIR (Annexure P-2) under Sections 365, 325, 323 and 506 read with Section 34 IPC was registered against the complainant party. Counsel for the petitioner contended that the petitioner is in custody since 10.08.2011 i.e. for more than four months. Learned State counsel, on instructions from ASI Sukhdev Singh, admitted this factual position. Grievous hurt with sharp weapon constituting offence under Section 326 IPC is attributed to the petitioner. The said injury is on left leg i.e. non-vital part. Case is triable by Magistrate. The trial is likely to take time. The petitioner has already remained in custody for more than four months. Keeping in view the aforesaid, but without meaning to express any opinion on merits of the case, the instant bail petition is allowed. Bail to the satisfaction of learned Chief Judicial Magistrate/ Duty Magistrate, Bathinda. December 13, 2011 ( L. N. MITTAL ) monika JUDGE
