Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that there is nothing on record to show that the petitioners set ablaze the bus and that no injury on the person of anybody was caused. Criminal M No.18445-M of 2010. #2# Learned state counsel states that the challan in this case has been submitted on 6.7.2010 and very fairly concedes that in similar circumstances, co-accused in this very FIR have already been granted bail vide order dated 26.4.2010 passed by this Court. In the light of the co-accused having been granted bail and the fact that no useful purpose would be served to keep the petitioners in custody, petition is allowed and the petitioners are directed to be released on bail to the satisfaction of the CJM/Duty Magistrate, Barnala.
