Crl. Misc No. M 3765 OF 2011 ****** Baljit Singh @ Jeetu vs State of Punjab Present : Mr. S.S.Sidhu, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. U.S.Dhaliwal, Addl. A.G Punjab ******* The petitioner seeks grant of regular bail in case FIR No.17, dated 20.2.2010, registered under Sections 302/34 of the IPC, and Sections 25/54/59 of the Arms Act, at Police Station Sangat, District Bathinda. On 7.2.2011, the following assertions were noticed :- “ Learned counsel states that the petitioner is not named in the FIR and the version later on put forward which implicated the petitioner is a clear contradiction and that the petitioner has been in custody since 25.2.2010.” Counsel for the respondent, on instructions from HC Baltej Singh, has accepted that there is a contradiction in the FIR but has stated that the complainant later-on sought to explain by saying that at the first instance he was very perplexed. Be that as it may, the fact remains that there is a contradiction in the FIR and the petitioner has now been in custody since 26.2.2011. In the circumstances, I deem it appropriate to grant bail to the petitioner. Bail to the satisfaction of the trial Court. Petition stands disposed of. ( AJAY TEWARI ) April 06, 2011. JUDGE `kk'
