Crl. Misc. No.M-14070 of 2011 (O&M) Kapil Oberoi Vs. State of Punjab Present : Mr. Deepak Gupta, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Rajinder Mathur, A.A.G., Punjab. ******* AJAY TEWARI, J. (ORAL) This petition has been filed under Section 439 Cr.P.C. for grant of regular bail to the petitioner in case F.I.R. No.365 dated 21.06.2006 registered under Sections 408, 34 IPC at Police Station Kotwali, Bathinda. On instructions from Head Constable Ravinder Singh learned Assistant Advocate General has accepted that the petitioner has now been in custody since 16.03.2011. He has however argued that the petitioner did not appear despite being summoned and was arrested during the period that proclaimed offender proceedings were pending against him. Be that as it may, once the petitioner has now been in custody for more than 4 months, I deem it appropriate to release him on regular bail to the satisfaction of the C.J.M./Duty Magistrate, Bathinda. Ordered accordingly. Petition stands disposed of. ( AJAY TEWARI ) July 28, 2011 JUDGE ashish
