Criminal Misc. No. M-13313 of 2009 [1] IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Criminal Misc. No. M-13313 of 2009 (O&M) Date of decision: 28.7.2009 Lakhwant Singh .. Petitioner v. State of Punjab .. Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJESH BINDAL Present: Mr. J. S. Bains, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Anter Singh Brar, Senior Deputy Advocate General, Punjab. ... Rajesh Bindal J. Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner has been falsely implicated in this case. He is in custody for the last about 8 months. The only allegation against the petitioner is that in the suicide note of the deceased, the name of the petitioner was mentioned having said certain harsh words to the mother of the deceased. He submitted that in fact, the petitioner had no role to play in the entire episode. The allegations of rape are against Gurjant Singh alias Gora and harassment against Amro. On the other hand, learned counsel for the State submitted that there are specific allegations against the petitioner in the suicide note recovered from the deceased and even in the FIR there are allegations of harassment by the petitioner as well. Considering the seriousness thereof, the petitioner does not deserve the concession of bail. Having heard learned counsel for the parties and considering the allegations against the petitioner even in the suicide note where he had said certain words to the mother of the deceased and regarding some harassment to the deceased, which prima facie cannot be taken to be an instigation to commit suicide and also the fact that the trial is going to take some time, I find this to be a fit case for release of the petitioner on bail pending trial. Accordingly, it is directed that the petitioner shall be released on bail Criminal Misc. No. M-13313 of 2009 [2] on furnishing of bail bonds to the satisfaction of Chief Judicial Magistrate/Duty Magistrate, Sangrur. The petition stands disposed of. (Rajesh Bindal) Judge 28.7.2009 mk
