Crl. Misc. No. M-35977 of 2010 1 IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATES OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. Crl. Misc. No. M-35977 of 2010 (O&M) Date of decision : 14.1.2011 Manjinder Singh alias Tait ...Petitioner Versus State of Punjab ...Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJAN GUPTA Present: Mr. Gurcharan Dass, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Arshvinder Singh, DAG, Punjab. Rajan Gupta, J. (oral) This is a petition under Section 439 Cr.P.C. seeking regular bail in a case registered against the petitioner under Sections 307, 324, 341, 148, 149 IPC at Police Station Dehlon, District Ludhiana, vide FIR No.63 dated 25th May, 2010. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has been attributed only injury No.2 on the person of Majid Khan which is an abrasion 2 cm x 1 cm on right shoulder. He submits that petitioner has been in custody since 18th July, 2010 and investigation of the case has already been completed. Learned State counsel has opposed the prayer for bail on the ground that the allegations against the petitioner are serious in nature. He, however, does not dispute the fact that investigation of the case has been completed and challan presented before the competent court. Crl. Misc. No. M-35977 of 2010 2 Heard. Keeping in view the facts and circumstances of the case and the period of incarceration of the petitioner, I am of the considered view that no useful purpose will be served by detaining the petitioner in custody any longer. The trial may take long time to conclude. Thus, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, this petition is allowed and the petitioner is directed to be released on bail to the satisfaction of Chief Judicial Magistrate/ Duty Magistrate, Ludhiana.
