CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJESH BINDAL Present: Mr. Amit Dhawan, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. A.S. Brar, DAG, Punjab. RAJESH BINDAL J. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has been falsely implicated in the case. The occurrence as alleged in the FIR took place at 12.00 mid night. There is considerable delay in registration of FIR. How Balwinder Singh, Constable recognised the petitioner is not even mentioned in the challan. In the evidence of Bhupinder Singh, who was accompanying Balwinder Singh at the time when they noticed the incident, he stated that he is not sure as to whether the accused persons in the court are the same persons who ran away from the spot, as he had not seen them. The petitioner is in custody since 21.8.2007. Be that as it may, without opining on the merits of the controversy, the present petition is disposed of with a direction that pending trial the petitioners shall be released on furnishing of bail bonds to the satisfaction of Chief Judicial Magistrate/ Duty Magistrate, Jalandhar.
