CRM No.M-21371 of 2011 (O&M) Mandeep Singh @ Deepa vs. State of Punjab Present : Mr. Yogesh Goel, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. S.S.Gill, DAG, Punjab. **** Ajay Tewari, J.(Oral) The petition has been filed under Section 439 Cr.PC in FIR No.41 dated 14.03.2009 for the offence under Sections 302, 392, 201 IPC registered at P.S. Payal District Ludhiana. On 01.08.2011, following contentions were raised by learned counsel for the petitioner: “Learned counsel has argued that the petitioner has now been in custody for more than two years. The only evidence against him was the alleged extra judicial confession before one Gurmail Singh. It has further been argued that the said Gurmail Singh has been examined as a witness and has not supported the case of the prosecution.” Learned State counsel, on instructions from ASI Saroop Singh, has accepted this factual assertion. In these circumstances, without going into the merits of the case, I deem it appropriate to release the petitioner on regular bail to the satisfaction of trial court. Petition stands disposed of.
