Criminal Misc. No. M-14827 of 2010 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Criminal Misc. No. M-14827 of 2010 Date of decision : 26.08.2010 Amrinder Singh ....Petitioner V/s State of Punjab ....Respondent BEFORE : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJAN GUPTA Present: Mr. R.P. Singh, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Shailesh Gupta, Deputy Advocate General, Punjab. RAJAN GUPTA J. (ORAL) This is a petition filed under Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure seeking regular bail in a case registered against the petitioner vide FIR No. 18 dated 01.03.2010 (Annexure P-1) under Sections 308/34 IPC at Police Station Sohana, District SAS Nagar. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that petitioner has been in custody for almost 05 months by now and prosecution evidence is being recorded. According to him, the main injury was caused by one Gurmanraj Singh @ Guri who is still in custody. Learned State counsel has opposed the prayer for bail on the ground that allegations against the petitioner are serious in nature and injury has seriously effected the life of the injured, as he has been rendered unfit to lead the normal life. I have heard learned counsel for the parties. Keeping in view the fact that prosecution evidence is being recorded and trial may still take some time to conclude, I am of the Criminal Misc. No. M-14827 of 2010 2 considered view that no useful purpose would be served by detaining the petitioner in custody any longer. Without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, I deem it appropriate to grant regular bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, the petition is allowed and petitioner is ordered to be enlarged on bail on his furnishing heavy surety to the satisfaction of Chief Judicial Magistrate/Duty Magistrate, Ropar. Apart from heavy surety, the petitioner will be required to furnish an undertaking that he will not try to influence the witnesses during the pendency of trial.
