On 1.3.2011, the following order was passed :- “ This is an application for ad interim bail on the ground that the wife of the petitioner is on family way and the expected date of delivery is 11.03.2011. Notice of motion. Mr. S.S.Chandumajra, DAG Punjab, at the asking of the Court, accepts notice on behalf of the respondent- State. Learned counsel for the petitioner undertakes to supply two copies of the petition to the learned DAG during the course of the day. Adjourned to 10.03.2011. Learned DAG is directed to get a medical status report of the wife of the petitioner through the District Police and also to ascertain whether the petitioner is indeed estranged from his parents.” Counsel for the respondent, on instructions from ASI Harbans Singh, has confirmed the fact that the wife of the petitioner is indeed expecting a child which is due on 11.3.2011 and also that she is not staying with the parents of the petitioner. In the circumstances, I deem it appropriate to grant interim bail to the petitioner for one month to the satisfaction of the trial Court on heavy surety. Ordered accordingly.
