CRM No.M-24572 of 2011(O&M) Jasmeet Singh vs. State of Punjab Present : Mr. Parminder Singh, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. S.S.Gill, DAG, Punjab. Mr. R.D.Bawa, Advocate for the complainant. **** Ajay Tewari, J.(Oral) The petition has been filed under Section 439 Cr.PC in FIR No.233 dated 07.07.2011 for the offence under Sections 420, 120-B, 467, 468, 471 IPC registered at P.S. Civil Lines, District Amritsar. Learned counsel for the petitioner has argued that the only role of the petitioner was that he stood as surety for the refund of the money and he has now been in custody for the last 2½ months. Learned counsel for the complainant has argued that in the document whereby the petitioner created surety it is mentioned that money was paid in his presence and this shows that the petitioner was one of the beneficiary (clubbed with the statement of co-accused Hira Singh). Learned State counsel, on instructions from ASI Gurinder Singh, states that the main accused have not yet been arrested and challan has been presented against the petitioner and Hira Singh. Considering the period of incarceration of the petitioner, without going into the merits of the case, I deem it appropriate to release the petitioner on bail to the satisfaction of the trial court. Present petition stands disposed of. September 15, 2011 (Ajay Tewari) sonia Judge
