Crl. Misc.-M No.30373 of 2009 (O&M) Parminder Singh @ Jhota vs. State of Punjab Present: Mr. Sameer Sachdeva, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Mehardeep Singh, DAG, Punjab. **** This is a petition filed under Section 439 of Cr.PC for regular bail in FIR No.34 dt. 04.03.2009 under Section 307/324/323/506/356/379/148/149 IPC & Section 25 of Arms Act, at PS City Mansa. From the FIR, it has been revealed that present was a case of road race. The allegation is that when the accused started hitting the complainant, the complainant took out his pistol and shot in his right bicep. Learned counsel has argued that from the facts of the case, it is a clear case of sudden fight and that since the petitioner was not armed with the pistol, intention to kill cannot be attributed. Be as it may, the fact remains that the petitioner has now been in custody for more than 9 months. Without going into the merits of the case, it would be interest of justice, if this petition is allowed subject to the conditions contained in Section 438(2) Cr.PC. Bail to the satisfaction of CJM, Mansa. Petition stands disposed of. December 18, 2009 (AJAY TEWARI) sonia JUDGE
