Crl. Misc. No.M-18665 of 2011 (O&M) Kapil Sharma Vs. State of Punjab Present : Mr. Manish Prabhaker, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. S.S. Gill, D.A.G., Punjab. ******* 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.76 dated 30.04.2010 registered under Sections 304-B, 306 IPC at Police Station Chheherta, District Amritsar. In the present case, the FIR was lodged under Section 304-B IPC against the petitioner but ultimately he was charged under Section 306 IPC. Learned counsel for the petitioner has argued that from reading of the FIR it seems that the present is a case where the girl committed suicide due to differences with the petitioner and not because of dowry. On instructions from Head Constable Bhagwant Singh learned Deputy Advocate General states that in fact the evidence of the prosecution has been concluded but this fact has been denied by learned counsel for the petitioner. Be that as it may, the petitioner has now been in custody for more than 14 months. If he is found guilty ofcourse he would be liable to undergo whatever punishment imposed upon him. Crl. Misc. No.M-18665 of 2011 (O&M) -2- At this stage, without going into the merit of the case, I deem it appropriate to release the petitioner on regular bail to the satisfaction of the trial Court/Duty Magistrate. Ordered accordingly. Petition stands disposed of. ( AJAY TEWARI ) September 06, 2011 JUDGE ashish
