IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Crl. Misc. No. M- 25774 of 2010(O&M) Date of Decision: November 10, 2010. Tej Singh ...... PETITIONER(s) Versus State of Punjab ...... RESPONDENT (s) CORAM:- HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE RAM CHAND GUPTA Present: Mr. A.K.Khunger, Advocate for Mr. Sameer Sachdeva, Advocate for the petitioner. Ms. Bhavna, D.A.G., Punjab. ***** RAM CHAND GUPTA, J.(Oral) This is an application for regular bail filed under Section 439 of Code of Criminal Procedure in FIR No.191 dated 14.11.2008, under Sections 307/148/149 IPC, registered at Police Station Sadar Malout, District Muktsar. 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 he has been continuing in custody since January, 2009 and that however, case is not likely to be decided in near future. Further contends that petitioner has CRM No.M-25774 of 2010 withdrawn his earlier bail application on 09.04.2010 and however, coordinate Bench of this Court vide order dated 09.04.2010 had directed learned trial Court to conclude the trial within four months from date of receipt of certified copy of order and however, no progress has been made in the trial. It has been stated by learned counsel for the State that trial could not proceed further as on application filed by the prosecution under Section 319 Cr.P.C. some other persons were summoned to face trial alongwith the present petitioner-accused and against the said order revision has been filed in which further proceedings have been stayed and hence, trial is not proceeding further. 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 Tej Singh is allowed. Bail to the satisfaction of CJM/Duty Magistrate, Muktsar. ( RAM CHAND GUPTA ) November 10, 2010. JUDGE 'om' 2
