IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATES OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. Cr.Misc. M 36264 of 2011 Date of decision: 14.12.2011 Iqbal Singh petitioner vs State of Punjab respondent Present:- Mr. HS Batth, Advocate Mr. Kirat Singh, DAG, Pb M.M.S.BEDI, J. The petitioner seeks the concession of regular bail on the ground that originally the petitioner was not named as an accused in the FIR but he has been implicated in the case on the basis of the inquiry conducted by the DSP. Dual version has arisen. An attempt has been made to point out the contradictions and the weaknesses of the prosecution case by referring to the statements of 7 witnesses, recorded. The petitioner has been in custody for the last more than 2 years. Without entering into the niceties of the trial or appreciating the evidence already led by the prosecution, in the interest of justice, it is deemed appropriate to dispose of this petition with a direction to the trial court to conclude the trial within a period of six months after the next date of hearing. In case the trial is not concluded within the said period, it will be open to the petitioner to approach this court again and seek the concession of regular bail.
