RESPONDENT CORAM:- HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE RAM CHAND GUPTA Present: Mr. K.S.Dhanora, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Gaurav Garg Dhuriwala, AAG, Punjab. ***** RAM CHAND GUPTA, J.(Oral) This is an application for regular bail filed under Section 439 of Cr.P.C. in FIR No.161 dated 14.09.2008, under Sections 323/324/325/326/ 307/341/427/148/149 IPC, registered at Police Station Goraya, District Jalandhar. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and gone through the record. It has been argued by the learned counsel for the petitioner that petitioner has been continuing in custody since 20.04.2009. It is further contended that main accused to whom injuries for offence under Sections CRM No.M-12135 of 2010 326/307 IPC have been attributed, are already on bail. It is further contended that only injuries for offence under Sections 323/325 IPC have been attributed to the petitioner. It is further contended that trial is not likely to be concluded in near future. Moreover, the offence has since been compromised with the complainant – injured vide compromise, Annexure P2. Learned counsel for the State, on instruction from HC. Gurdev Lal, has not disputed these facts. There are no allegations on behalf of the State that petitioner is likely to abscond or that he is likely to dissuade the witnesses from deposing true facts in the Court, if released on bail. Hence, keeping in view these facts and without expressing any opinion on merits, the instant application for regular bail filed on behalf of Kehar Chand is allowed. Bail to the satisfaction of CJM/Duty Magistrate, Jalandhar. ( RAM CHAND GUPTA ) May 26, 2010. JUDGE 'om' 2
