Cr.Misc. NO. M 12051 of 2008 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Cr.Misc. NO. M 12051 of 2008 DATE OF DECISION 20.3.2009 Kundan Kumar ......PETITIONER VERSUS State of of Punjab ......RESPONDENTS PRESENT: Mr. Yogesh Goel, Advocate Mr. PS Sidhu, Addl.A.G.Punjab M.M.S.BEDI,J. The petitioner along with Sunny and other companions is alleged to have given beating to Suresh Parshad. While Suresh Parshad ran for saving his life towards the second floor from the third floor, the deceased Mohd. Harun, who was coming down from the stairs stopped the petitioner, Sunny and their companions, on which all the said persons left Suresh Parshad and threw Mohd. Harun down by giving him a push from the second floor and started giving him beatings. Co-accused of the petitioner Sunny had allegedly hit Mohd. Harun with a screw driver. Learned counsel for the petitioner has contended that there is a contradiction in the medical and ocular version. Referring to the statement of the Doctor, who had conducted the post-mortem, learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that except for the screw driver injury, there is no injury on the person of the deceased, thus creating a doubt regarding the petitioner having participated in the occurrence of beating and hitting the deceased. After hearing learned counsel for the petitioner, I do not deem Cr.Misc. NO. M 12051 of 2008 2 it appropriate to appreciate the evidence at this stage, lest it should prejudice the final adjudication of the matter. Learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that the petitioner has been in custody since 25.6.2006. In view of the said circumstances, a direction is issued to the trial court to expeditiously dispose of the trial. The petition is dismissed at this stage. March 20 ,2009 ( M.M.S.BEDI ) TSM JUDGE
