RESPONDENT(s) CORAM:- HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE RAM CHAND GUPTA Present: Mr. Kanwaljit Singh, Sr.Advocate with Mr. Naresh Jain, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. K.D.Sachdeva, Addl.A.G., Punjab. ***** RAM CHAND GUPTA, J.(Oral) The present petition has been filed for regular bail under Section 439 of Code of Criminal Procedure in FIR No.160 dated 17.06.2010, under Sections 420/467/468/471/120B, registered at Police Station City Barnala, District Barnala. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and gone through the record. It has been argued by the learned counsel for the petitioner that petitioner is only an attesting witness to the agreement to sell and that he has been continuing in custody since 19.06.2010. It is further contended that CRM No.M-18755 of 2010 investigation/trial is not likely to be concluded in near future. It is further contended that he is father of the main accused, Gurdeep Singh and not in any way beneficiary of this transaction. Learned counsel for the State has not disputed these facts. There are no allegations on behalf of the State that petitioner is likely to abscond or that he is likely to dissuade the witnesses from deposing true facts in the Court, if released on bail. Hence, keeping in view these facts and without expressing any opinion on merits, the instant application for regular bail filed on behalf of Ajaib Singh, is allowed. Bail to the satisfaction of CJM/Duty Magistrate, Barnala. ( RAM CHAND GUPTA ) August 2, 2010. JUDGE 'om' 2
