Petitioner VERSUS State of Punjab. .. Respondent * * * CORAM: HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE M.M.S.BEDI * * * PRESENT Mr.Kuldip Sanwal, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr.Kiratpal Singh Sidhu, DAG., Punjab. * * * M.M.S.BEDI, J (ORAL). The petitioners had allegedly received a sum of ` 2 lacs each from the complainant Jaspal Singh and Satnam Singh to send them abroad. Counsel for the petitioner has submitted that the petitioners have been falsely involved in the case on account of political rivalry and as a counter blast to a complaint filed by the petitioners against Ex-Sarpanch Surjit Singh who happens to be a relative of the complainant Jaspal Singh and Satnam Singh. Without expression of any opinion on merits of the . . . 1 Crl.Misc. No.M-19817 of 2011 case, it is sufficient to observe that the petitioners have been in custody w.e.f., 07.06.2011. A sum of ` 50,000/- seems to have been returned to the complainant. The trial is likely to take a long time. The petition is allowed. It is ordered that the petitioners will be released on bail on their furnishing bail bonds/surety bonds to the satisfaction of the Illaqua Magistrate/Duty Magistrate.
