IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Criminal Misc. No.M-4465 of 2011 Date of decision: 10th March, 2011 Hans Raj … Petitioner Versus State of Punjab … Respondent CORAM: HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE KANWALJIT SINGH AHLUWALIA Present: Mr. Arun Takhi, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. V.P.S. Sidhu, Assistant Advocate General, Punjab for the State. KANWALJIT SINGH AHLUWALIA, J. (ORAL) Present petition has been filed under Section 439 Cr.P.C. seeking regular bail to the petitioner in case FIR No.105 dated 14.07.2010 registered at Police Station Model Town, Hoshiarpur under Sections 307/148/149 IPC and Section 25 of the Arms Act, 1959. It is stated that petitioner had fired at the police party, but no police official suffered any injury in the occurrence. Counsel states that apparently a false case has been foisted upon the petitioner. He further states that on the same day, a case under the Arms Act, 1959 was also registered against the petitioner and in that case, the petitioner has been enlarged on bail. The petitioner is stated to be in custody since 14th July, 2010 and has undergone actual sentence of about 8 months. Counsel for the State submits that the report under Section 173 Cr.P.C. has been submitted but the charge is yet to be framed against the petitioner. Taking into consideration the fact that trial will take a long time to conclude, this Court is of the opinion that further detention of the Criminal Misc. No.M-4465 of 2011 petitioner in the present case is not warranted. Accordingly, present petition is allowed and the petitioner is ordered to be released on regular bail to the satisfaction of Chief Judicial Magistrate, Hoshiarpur.
