IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA, CHANDIGARH Criminal Miscellaneous No. M-33497 of 2009 Date of Decision: February 10, 2010 Bikramjit Singh @ Bufar .....PETITIONER(S) VERSUS State of Punjab .....RESPONDENT(S) . . . CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE AJAI LAMBA PRESENT: - Mr. Navjinder Singh, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr. Manoj Bajaj, Additional Advocate General, Punjab. . . . AJAI LAMBA, J (Oral) This petition has been filed under Section 439 Cr.P.C. for grant of regular bail in case FIR No.108 dated 14.5.2008 under Sections 302, 307, 148, 149 IPC registered with Police Station, Sadar, Ludhiana. Learned counsel for the petitioner contends that it is the prosecution case that injury was caused on non vital part i.e. left thigh. Initially provisions of Section 302 IPC were invoked. On the incriminating evidence Crl. Misc. No. M-33497 of 2009 [2] having come on record, the petitioner is now being tried under Section 304 Part-II IPC. It has further been contended that the petitioner has been in custody for the last 1 year and 10 months. The facts as stated by learned counsel for the petitioner have not been disputed by the counsel for the respondent-State. I have taken note of the fact that despite directions of this Court to conclude trial within six months, issued on 4.5.2009 in Criminal Miscellaneous No.M-3690 of 2009, `Mandeep Singh Laddy vs. State of Punjab’ the trial has not been concluded. It seems that conclusion of trial is likely to take time. In view of the above, the petition is allowed. Bail to the satisfaction of Trial Court. (AJAI LAMBA) February 10, 2010 JUDGE avin 1. To be referred to the Reporters or not? 2. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest?
