Whether Reporters of Local Newspapers may be allowed to see the judgment ? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not ? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest ? *** AJAY TEWARI, J (Oral) The petitioner seeks grant of regular bail in case FIR No.174, dated 21.08.2009, registered under Sections 148, 149, 323, 302 and 427 of the Indian Penal Code, at Police Station, Israna, District Panipat. On 29.09.2011 the following order was passed:- “Learned counsel states that the petitioner has been in custody for more than two years and there is no prospect of the trial concluding in foreseeable future”. Apart from that learned counsel has argued that the main accused Pawan (who caused fatal injury) has been released on bail. Learned Assistant Advocate General, on instructions from ASI Dharamveer Singh, has accepted these factual assertions but has claimed that it is a case of gruesome murder and the petitioner is a hardcore criminal. At this stage, it would not be possible to pass any order on merits. CRM No. M-29595 of 2011 -2- In view of the facts and circumstances mentioned above, I do not deem it appropriate to deny the concession of bail to the petitioner. Consequently this petition is allowed. Bail to the satisfaction of the learned trial Court/Duty Magistrate. ( AJAY TEWARI ) December 19, 2011. JUDGE Jyoti 1
