IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Crl. Misc. No. M-7820 of 2009 Date of decision : 26.05.2009 Jagsir Singh ....Petitioner V/s State of Haryana ....Respondent BEFORE : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJAN GUPTA Present: Mr. G.S. Brar, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. K.C. Gupta, AAG Haryana. Mr. G.S. Sidhu, Advocate for the complainant. RAJAN GUPTA J. (ORAL) This is a petition for regular bail in a case registered against the petitioner under Sections 323/324/325/326/148/149/506 IPC and 25/54/59 of the Arms Act at police station Rori District Sirsa vide FIR No. 134 dated 13.10.2008. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that one injury by sword is attributed to the petitioner. According to the counsel, petitioner has undergone incarceration since 14.01.2009. Learned counsel also points out that co-accused of the petitioner namely Lakhvir Singh and Gurdeep Singh have already been granted the concession of bail by the court below. Learned counsel further submits that trial is likely to take quite some time to conclude and no useful purpose would be served by keeping the petitioner in custody during the pendency of the trial. Learned counsel for the State has, however, opposed the grant Crl. Misc. No. M-7820 of 2009 -2- of bail to the petitioner on the ground that allegations against the petitioner are serious in nature. Keeping in view the fact that petitioner has already undergone incarceration for a period of almost 05 months, I am of the considered view that petitioner deserves to be enlarged on bail. Since trial will take some time to conclude, no useful purpose would be served by detaining the petitioner in custody during the pendency of the trial. Accordingly, the petition is allowed and the petitioner is ordered to be released on bail to the satisfaction of Chief Judicial Magistrate, Sirsa. 26.05.2009 (RAJAN GUPTA) Ajay JUDGE
