Crl. Misc. No.M-21594 of 2011 (O&M) Jatinder Kumar @ Bittu Vs. State of Punjab Present : Mr. Vivek Goel, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. S.S. Gill, D.A.G., Punjab. Mr. K.S. Sidhu, Advocate for the complainant. ******* AJAY TEWARI, J. (ORAL) This petition has been filed under Section 439 Cr.P.C. for grant of regular bail to the petitioner in case F.I.R. No.116 dated 27.06.2009 registered under Sections 302, 148, 149, 120-B and 34 IPC at Police Station Baghapurana, District Moga. Learned counsel for the petitioner has relied upon the order dated 27.05.2011 passed in CRM-M No.7289 of 2010 to contend that the similarly situated co-accused have been granted bail. Learned Deputy Advocate General on instructions from ASI Gurpal Singh has accepted these factual assertions. Learned counsel for the complainant has however argued that it is a case where a young man was brutally killed and there is a last seen evidence of the petitioner with the said deceased. He has further argued that the prosecution evidence is complete and in case bail is granted the petitioner would have the incentive to delay the trial. Crl. Misc. No.M-21594 of 2011 (O&M) -2- Learned counsel for the petitioner has accepted that the prosecution evidence has been concluded. Be that as it may, once it is not denied that similarly situated co-accused have been granted bail, it would be difficult for this Court to treat the petitioner unequally. In the circumstances, I deem it appropriate to release the petitioner on regular bail to the satisfaction of the trial Court/Duty Magistrate. Ordered accordingly. The trial Court is directed to conclude the trial on or before 15.06.2012. Petition stands disposed of. ( AJAY TEWARI ) August 08, 2011 JUDGE ashish
