Criminal Misc.-M No. 15985 of 2011 [1] IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Criminal Misc.-M No. 15985 of 2011 (O&M) Date of decision: 30.8.2011 Shamsher Singh alias Bau .. Petitioner Vs. State of Punjab and another .. Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJESH BINDAL Present: Ms. G. K. Mann, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. J. S. Brar, Assistant Advocate General, Punjab. Mr. P.B.S. Goraya, Advocate for the complainant. ... Rajesh Bindal J. Prayer in the present petition is for grant of regular bail to the petitioner, who is an accused in a complaint filed by respondent No. 2- Mandeep Singh under Sections 302, 304-B, 498-A, 148, 149 and 120-B IPC. Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner is in custody since 11.11.2010. He is jeth of the deceased. He was having a separate ration card and was living separate from the deceased and her husband, who were living with the parents of the petitioner separately. On the other hand, learned counsel for the complainant submitted that after killing the deceased, i.e., sister of the complainant, the accused party got FIR registered claiming that she had been killed in an attempt of robbery. However, during investigation, it was found that in fact she had been killed, for which husband of the deceased was challaned. As other family members, who were also equally guilty, had not been challaned, respondent No. 2 filed a complaint in which the petitioner, parents-in-law of the deceased and other accused have been summoned to Criminal Misc.-M No. 15985 of 2011 [2] face trial. Trial in the FIR is already over as the entire evidence of the prosecution has been led, whereas in the complaint, only one prosecution witness remains to be examined. Considering the stage of trial, the petitioner does not deserve concession of bail. After hearing learned counsel for the parties, in my opinion, as the entire prosecution evidence in the FIR and the complaint is over, I do not find it to be a fit case for grant of bail to the petitioner at this stage. Dismissed. (Rajesh Bindal) Judge 30.8.2011 mk
