JUSTICE RAJAN GUPTA Present: Mr. Vipin Mahajan, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Shailesh Gupta, DAG Punjab. RAJAN GUPTA J. (ORAL) Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that petitioner was summoned under Section 319 Cr.P.C. and is in custody since the date he appeared before the trial court. Learned counsel submits that identically placed accused have already been enlarged on bail by this Court vide order Annexure P-5. Learned counsel for the State does not dispute the fact that identically placed accused have already been enlarged on bail by this Court vide order dated 12.12.2008, Annexure P-5. The petitioner is stated to be in custody for the last more than 04 months. Without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case and taking into consideration the fact that identically placed accused have already been granted bail by this Court, I am of the considered view that no useful purpose would be served by detaining the petitioner is custody during the pendency of the trial. Accordingly, the petition is allowed and petitioner is directed to be enlarged on bail to the satisfaction of Chief Judicial Magistrate, Gurdaspur/Trial Court. 06.05.2009 (RAJAN GUPTA) Ajay JUDGE
