The petitioner has been in custody since 3.2.2009 for having inflicted injuries on the person of Bhupinder Singh complainant. The grievous injury is attributed to Jaspal Singh. The petitioner is alleged to have inflicted a simple injury on the right shoulder of the complainant. The application of the petitioner was dismissed by the Learned Sessions Judge, Ropar on the ground that he was declared a proclaimed offender. Without expression of any opinion regarding the validity of the proceedings declaring the petitioner a proclaimed offender, it is sufficient to observe that his detention w.e.f. 3.2.2009 would be sufficient enough to have a deterrent and punitive affect for evading appearance in the court. The petition is allowed and the petitioner is ordered to be released on bail on furnishing bail bonds/surety bonds to the satisfaction of the trial Court. May 26 ,2009 ( M.M.S.BEDI ) TSM JUDGE
