Crl.M.No.M-23560 of 2011(O&M) -1- IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. Crl.M.No.M-23560 of 2011(O&M) Date of Decision: August 10, 2011 Harjit Singh Klair .....Petitioner v. State of Punjab .....Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE RAM CHAND GUPTA Present: Mr.Anil Chaudhary, Advocate for the petitioner. ..... RAM CHAND GUPTA, J.(Oral) Crl.M.No.41461 of 2011 Application is allowed subject to all just exceptions. Crl.M.No.M-23560 of 2011 The present petition filed under Section 439 Cr.P.C. is for grant of regular bail to the petitioner in case FIR No.179, dated 6.10.2008, under Sections 302/304/34 IPC, registered at Police Station City Malerkotla, District Sangrur. I have heard learned counsel for the petitioner and have gone through the whole record carefully. This is second application filed on behalf of the petitioner for grant of regular bail. Earlier application filed on his behalf was got dismissed as withdrawn vide order dated 8.10.2010 passed in Crl.M.No.M- 29333 of 2010. There is no change in the facts and circumstances since then except that a Medical officer has been examined. Brief allegations against petitioner-accused are that he Crl.M.No.M-23560 of 2011(O&M) -2- alongwith co-accused while armed with iron rods came in a vehicle, way- laid the deceased and caused injuries to him with the iron rods, resulting into his death. It has been contended by learned counsel for the petitioner- accused that he has been continuing in custody since 18.9.2010 and that in subsequent statement his name was not mentioned and even challan was not filed against him and, however, he was summoned under Section 319 Cr.P.C. It has also been contended that main injury has been attributed to co-accused and only simple injuries have been attributed to present petitioner-accused. However, allegations against the petitioner-accused are serious in nature as he alongwith co-accused armed with iron rods has way-laid the deceased and caused him injuries, though main injury has been attributed to the other accused. Statements of complainant and material witnesses are yet to be recorded. Hence, it is not such a case in which bail should be granted to the petitioner-accused, at this stage. In view of these facts, and without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, the present petition filed by petitioner-Harjit Singh Klair for grant of regular bail is, hereby, dismissed being devoid of any merit. However, learned trial Court is directed to expedite the trial. 10.8.2011 (Ram Chand Gupta) meenu Judge
