(Oral) This petition has been filed under Section 439 Cr.P.C. for grant of regular bail to the petitioner in case FIR No.157 dated 29.07.2008 registered under Sections 420, 406 IPC at Police Station City Muktsar, District Sri Muktsar Sahib. Learned counsel for the petitioner has argued that the petitioner has now been in custody since 21.02.2011 and its a case of magisterial trial. Learned Assistant Advocate General on instructions from ASI S.I. Sham Lal has accepted this factual assertion but has drawn the attention of this Court to the fact that in the present case the allegation is that the petitioner alongwith his co-accused have amassed a sum of Rs.6.5 lakhs by CRM-M No.28473 of 2011(O&M) ::2:: duping people. Be that as it may, in view of the period of incarceration already suffered by the petitioner, without commenting on the merits of the case, I deem it appropriate to grant the concession of regular bail to the petitioner to the satisfaction of the trial Court/Duty Magistrate. Ordered accordingly. Petition stands disposed of. ( AJAY TEWARI ) December 20, 2011 JUDGE ashish
