CRM No.M-25282 of 2011 (O & M) Gurpiar Singh vs. State of Punjab Present: Mr.Achin Gupta, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr. Abhishek Chauttala, AA.G, Punjab. Mr.Tejinderpal Singh, Advocate, for the complainant. **** This is a petition for regular bail in case bearing FIR No.03 dated 13.01.2010, under Sections 302 and 34 IPC registered at Police Station Budhlada. Learned counsel has argued that on the last date of hearing the petitioner had been in custody for 1 year 7½ months and he was not attributed the fatal injury. Learned AA.G., on instructions from ASI Kuldeep Singh and learned counsel for the complainant have argued that the entire evidence has been concluded except for one witness, who has now to appear on 30th September, 2011. In my opinion, interest of justice would be met by dismissing this petition but by directing the trial court that in case the witness as stated by learned AA.G., does not appear to give his testimony on the date fixed, the petitioner shall be released on bail by the trial court to its satisfaction. Disposed of. (AJAY TEWARI) September 26, 2011 JUDGE Sukhpreet
