Criminal Misc.-M No. 26268 of 2011 1 IN THE PUNJAB AND HARYANA HIGH COURT AT CHANDIGARH Criminal Misc.-M No. 26268 of 2011(O&M) Date of Decision: 14.11.2011 Rajan Singh @ Raju ...Petitioner Versus State of Punjab ..Respondent CORAM: Hon'ble Mr. Justice Rajesh Bindal Present: Mr. Hemant Saini, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. K.S. Pannu, Deputy Advocate General, Punjab. …… RAJESH BINDAL, J. Learned counsel for the petitioner while placing reliance on the earlier order passed by this Court in Criminal Misc.-M No. 13992 of 2011 titled as Sikandar Singh alias Kala alias Ghona Vs. State of Punjab submit- ted that it is case, in which the petitioner and the other co-accused have been falsely implicated. Though the complainant stated that he had seen the petitioner as well as co-accused-Sikandar Singh alias Kala alias Ghona beat- ing his brother and pushing him in the canal but he neither reported the mat- ter to the police nor tried to save his brother rather he went to call his brother-in-law, namely, Kulwant Singh. He searched the body for three days and after the body was found then the matter was reported to the police. The submission is that the story is improbable. It is not possible to locate and identify the body in flowing water in a canal. Sikandar Singh alias Kala alias Ghona-co-accused has been granted bail by this Court on August 10, 2011. On the other hand, learned counsel for the State, while not dis- puting the fact that Sikandar Singh alias Kala alias Ghona has been granted bail by this Court, submitted that there are allegations against the petitioner that he had pushed the deceased in the canal though both the petitioner and Criminal Misc.-M No. 26268 of 2011 2 co-accused Sikandar Singh alias Kala alias Ghona had beaten up the de- ceased. After hearing learned counsel for the parties and considering the submissions made above and also the order passed by this Court in Sikan- dar Singh’s case (supra), in my opinion, the petitioner deserves the conces- sion of bail pending trial. The petitioner is directed to be released on fur- nishing of bail bonds to the satisfaction of Chief Judicial Magistrate/Duty Magistrate, Amritsar. The petition stands disposed of.
