IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Crl.Misc.No.M-9234 of 2011 DATE OF DECISION: May 26, 2011 Nishant Kumar Bains @ Ishu Mota …..Petitioner versus State of Punjab .....Respondent CORAM:- HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJAN GUPTA Present: Mr.Naveen Batra, Advocate for the petitioner Mr.Arshvinder Singh, Addl.A.G., Punjab .. RAJAN GUPTA, J.: (Oral) This is a petition under section 439 Cr.P.C. seeking regular bail in a case registered against the petitioner under sections 323,324/34 IPC and section 307 IPC (added later on) vide FIR No.244 dated 23.12.2010 at police station Salem Tabri, District Ludhiana. Learned counsel for the petitioner contends that name of the petitioner figured in supplementary statement of Hem Raj and injury attributed to him is by a glass bottle on the head. He submits that said injury does not attract offence under section 307 IPC. According to him, co-accused Ajay Kumar, who caused the main injury has already been granted the concession of bail. Crl.Misc.No.M-9234 of 2011 - 2 - Learned State counsel has opposed the prayer for bail on the ground that allegations against the petitioner are serious. He, however, submits that investigation has been completed and trial is in progress. In view of the aforesaid contentions particularly the fact that investigation of the case has been completed and trial is in progress, I am of the view that no useful purpose would be served by detaining the petitioner during the pendency of trial. Without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, I deem it appropriate to grant regular bail to the petitioner. Bail to the satisfaction of Chief Judicial Magistrate/Duty Magistrate, Ludhiana. Disposed of. May 26, 2011 ( RAJAN GUPTA ) pc JUDGE 2
