Crl. Misc. No.M-31228 of 2010 ****** Gurpreet Singh alias Laddi Vs. State of Punjab Present : Mr. Sunil Chadha, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Shilesh Gupta, 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.129 dated 19.07.2009 registered under Sections 302 and 34 of IPC and 25(1), 27, 25(54) and 59 of the Arms Act at Police Station Samrala, District Ludhiana. Learned counsel for the petitioner has asserted and it is not disputed by the learned Deputy Advocate General, Punjab on instruction from ASI Rajnish Kumar that in the F.I.R. as well as in his statement before the Court the eye witness-complainant did not level any allegation against the present petitioner. Learned Deputy Advocate General, Punjab, however, states that there is recovery of a pistol from him as per extra judicial confession. The petitioner has now been in custody since 02.12.2009. Without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, in my considered opinion, it would be in the interest of justice if the petitioner is released on bail to the satisfaction of CJM/Duty Magistrate, Ludhiana. Ordered accordingly. The petition stands disposed of. ( AJAY TEWARI ) January 13, 2011. JUDGE ashish
