State of Punjab Present : Mr. Akashdeep Singh, Advocate for the petitioner (in CRM-M No.23812 of 2011). Mr. Anant Kataria, Advocate for the petitioner (in CRM-M No.26137 of 2011). Mr. S.S. Gill, D.A.G., Punjab. ******* AJAY TEWARI, J. (ORAL) This order shall dispose of two petitions i.e. CRM-M Nos.23812 & 26137 of 2011. CRM-M No.23812 of 2011 has been filed under Section 439 Cr.P.C. for grant of regular bail to the petitioner in case F.I.R. No.39 dated 16.04.2011 registered under Sections 420, 382, 472, 473, 411, 34 IPC at Police Station Jamalpur, District Ludhiana. CRM-M No.26137 of 2011 has been filed under Section 439 Cr.P.C. for grant of regular bail to the petitioner in case F.I.R. No.39 dated 16.04.2011 registered under Sections 420, 382, 34, 411 IPC at Police Station Jamalpur, District Ludhiana. These are two cases where the petitioners have been arrested for the offence of chain snatching. One of the petitioners i.e. Deepak Kumar was arrested on 16.04.2011 at Naka with some chains allegedly in his possession and the second petitioner Gurdeep Singh was arrested after a few days on 21.05.2011. Crl. Misc. No.M-23812 of 2011 (O&M) -2- In CRM-M No.23812 of 2011 the following contention was noticed on 08.08.2011 :- “Learned counsel has argued that the petitioner was arrested after one month and was identified by illegal test identification parade and has been in custody since 21.05.2011.” Learned Deputy Advocate General on instructions from Head Constable Inderjit Singh has stated that the charge has been framed and the case is now fixed for 08.09.2011. Be that as it may, in my considered opinion, if the petitioners are found guilty they would ofcourse be liable for whatever punishment imposed upon them. In the circumstances, without going into the merit of the case, I deem it appropriate to release the petitioners on regular bail to the satisfaction of the trial Court/Duty Magistrate. Ordered accordingly. Petitions stand disposed of. A photocopy of this order be placed on the file of a connected case. ( AJAY TEWARI ) September 06, 2011 JUDGE ashish
