Mr.Shilesh Gupta, DAG Punjab. M ehinder S ingh S ullar , J . (Oral) Having exercised his right of regular bail and lost before the Courts below, petitioner Sarabjit Singh alias Raju s/o Bhagwan Singh, has directed the present petition for regular bail, in a case registered against him, alongwith his other co-accused, vide FIR No.306 dated 14.12.2002 on accusation of having committed the offences punishable under sections 323 and 325 read with section 34 IPC, by the police of Police Station Jagraon, Distt.Ludhiana, invoking the provisions of section 439 Cr.PC. 2. Notice of the petition was issued to the State. 3. Having heard the learned counsel for the parties, having gone through the record with their valuable help and after bestowal of thoughts over the entire matter, to my mind, the present petition deserves to be accepted in this context. 4. What is not disputed before me is that all the offences alleged against the petitioner are bailable and triable by the Court of Magistrate. It is not a matter of dispute that the petitioner was earlier allowed bail, but as he did not appear on the date of hearing, therefore, he was declared proclaimed offender. The petitioner was arrested on 19.6.2010 and since then he is in judicial custody. The conclusion of trial will naturally take long time. 5. So, taking into consideration the totality of the facts and CRM No.M-28312 of 2010 2 circumstances, emanating from the record, as discussed here-in-above, to me, the present petitioner is entitled to regular bail in the obtaining circumstances of the instant case. 6. In the light of the aforesaid reasons and without commenting further anything on merits, lest it may prejudice the case of either side during the course of the trial of the case, the petitioner is directed to be released on bail on his furnishing bail bonds in the sum of Rs.25,000/- with two sureties of the same amount to the satisfaction of trial Court. 7. The instant petition is disposed of accordingly. 13.10.2010 (Mehinder Singh Sullar) AS Judge
