Prayer in the present petition is for grant of regular bail to the petitioner pending trial in FIR No. 132 dated 31.08.2010 registered under Sections 406/420 IPC and Section 10 of the Immigration Act, 1983 at Po- lice Station Sadar, Hoshiarpur. Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner is in custody since 05.12.2010. It is a case triable by the Magistrate and will take long time. Considering the aforesaid facts, the petitioner be granted concession of bail. On the other hand, learned counsel for the State submitted that there is another FIR registered against the petitioner for similar offence. Though in that he has been granted bail but considering the conduct of the petitioner he does not deserve concession of bail. After hearing learned counsel for the parties and considering the period of custody of the petitioner and also that the case is triable by the Magistrate, in my opinion, the petitioner deserves the concession of bail pending trial. He is directed to be released on furnishing bail bonds to the satisfaction of Chief Judicial Magistrate/Duty Magistrate, Hoshiarpur. The petition stands disposed of.
