Crl. Misc. No. M-27785 of 2010 (O&M) 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Crl. Misc. No. M-27785 of 2010 (O&M) Date of Decision: October 26, 2010 Navjot Singh @ Jyoti ........Petitioner Versus State of Punjab .......Respondent ******* CORAM : HON'BLE MRS. JUSTICE SABINA Present: Mr. B.S. Jaswal, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr. Amandeep Singh Rai, AAG, Punjab. SABINA, J. Petitioner has filed this petition under Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure for grant of regular bail in case FIR No.13 dated 28.5.2010, under Sections 307/452/323/324/148/149 of Indian Penal Code (in short 'IPC'), registered at Police Station Tarsikka, District Amritsar. The allegation against the petitioner is that at the time of alleged occurrence he was armed with a datar and had inflicted injury on the head of Jagbir Singh. The other co-accused were also armed with weapons and had inflicted injuries on the complainant party. The injury attributed to the petitioner was declared dangerous to life. Learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that all other co-accused have since been released on bail. The petitioner was a student of 10+2 class and is about 20 years old. Due to the registration of the case the name of the petitioner has been struck off by the school. Crl. Misc. No. M-27785 of 2010 (O&M) 2 Learned State counsel, on the other hand, has opposed the petition. Keeping in view the fact that the petitioner is in custody since 10.7.2010 and is not involved in any other criminal case and the fact that he is a young boy aged about 20 years, it would be just and expedient to release the petitioner on bail. Whether the petitioner is guilty of the alleged offence or not would more appropriately be gone into and considered during trial. Accordingly, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, this petition is allowed. Petitioner be admitted to bail subject to the satisfaction of the Chief Judicial Magistrate/Duty Magistrate, Amritsar. (SABINA) October 26, 2010 JUDGE Anand
