State of Punjab .....Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE JASWANT SINGH Present: Mr. Baljinder Singh Sra, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Gaurav Garg Dhuriwala, AAG, Punjab. JASWANT SINGH, J (ORAL) Prayer under Section 439 Cr.P.C read with Section 482 Cr.P.C is for grant of regular bail in case FIR No.11 dated 24.5.2010 under Section 364 IPC, P.S Khilchian, Amritsar. As per the contents of the FIR, petitioner along with his co- accused had abducted Manpreet Singh and Mandeep Singh and demanded a sum of Rs.4 lacs for their release, as there was dispute with regard to repayment of loan by the victims-Manpreet Singh and Mandeep Singh. Learned counsel submits that the petitioner has been falsely implicated in the present case. It is stated that the aforesaid victims had taken loan from the petitioner, which was to be repaid to the petitioner and that in order to pressurize the petitioner, he has been falsely roped in. It is further stated that all the accused including the petitioner and the complainant as well as the victims have arrived at an amicable settlement. Learned state counsel, on instructions from ASI Lakhwinder Crl.M.No.27206-M of 2010 #2# Singh, states that no other case is pending against the petitioner. Without expressing any opinion on the merit of the case and keeping in view the fact of compromise, I find that no useful purpose would be served by keeping the petitioner in custody any longer. Accordingly, petition is allowed and the petitioner is ordered to be released on bail to the satisfaction of the ld. Chief Judicial Magistrate, Amritsar.
