Crl. Misc. No. M-2453 of 2010 1 IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATES OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. Crl. Misc. No. M-2453 of 2010 (O&M) Date of decision : 14.1.2011 Gurmail Singh ...Petitioner Versus State of Punjab ...Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJAN GUPTA Present: Mr. PPS Tung, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Arshvinder Singh, DAG, Punjab. Rajan Gupta, J. (oral) This is a petition under Section 439 Cr.P.C. seeking regular bail in a case registered against the petitioner under Sections 302, 120-B IPC at Police Station Talwandi Sabo, District Bathinda, vide FIR No.66 dated 21st June, 2009. Learned counsel for the petitioner has argued that only circumstantial evidence is available against the petitioner. He has been in custody since 28th June, 2009 and thus, he deserves to be enlarged on bail. Learned State counsel has opposed the prayer for bail on the ground that most of the material witnesses have been examined, who have testified against the petitioner. He further submits that only the Investigating Officer and certain formal witnesses remain to be examined by the prosecution. Heard. Crl. Misc. No. M-2453 of 2010 2 In view of the fact that the material prosecution witnesses have already been examined and certain formal witnesses are likely to be examined before the trial court soon, there is no ground to enlarge the petitioner on bail at this stage. The petition is devoid of merit and is hereby dismissed. (RAJAN GUPTA) JUDGE 14.1.2011 'rajpal'
