IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Crl. Misc. No. M- 7378 of 2010(O&M) Date of Decision: 03.05.2010. Jaswinder Singh and another. ...... PETITIONERS Versus State of Punjab. ...... RESPONDENT CORAM:- HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE RAM CHAND GUPTA Present: Mr. S.K.Bansal, Advocate for the petitioners. Mr. Gaurav Garg Dhuriwala, AAG, Punjab. ***** RAM CHAND GUPTA, J.(Oral) The present petition has been filed for regular bail under Section 439 of Code of Criminal Procedure in FIR No.318 of 2009 dated 25.12.2009, under Sections 420/467/468/471/120-B IPC, registered at Police Station Shimlapuri, District Ludhiana City. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and have gone through the whole record. It has been stated by learned counsel for the petitioners that he does not want to press the application for regular bail on behalf of petitioner No.1 – Jaswinder Singh at this stage. CRM No.M-7378 of 2010 Bail application qua Jaswinder Singh, petitioner No.1, is dismissed as withdrawn. It has been further argued by the learned counsel for the petitioners that petitioner No.2 – Paramjit Kaur is a lady and that as per allegations, money was paid to her husband – Jaswinder Singh in her presence. It is further contended that she has been continuing in custody since 05.02.2010 and that trial of this case is not likely to be concluded in near future. It is further contended that case is triable by Magistrate. Learned counsel for the State has not disputed these facts. However, bail application has been opposed by learned State counsel on the ground that Mandeep, who is son of the present petitioner, is still absconding. There are no allegations on behalf of the State that petitioner is likely to abscond or that she is likely to dissuade the witnesses from deposing true facts in the Court, if released on bail. Hence, keeping in view these facts and without expressing any opinion on merits, the instant application for regular bail filed on behalf of Paramjit Kaur is allowed. Bail to the satisfaction of CJM/Duty Magistrate, Ludhiana. ( RAM CHAND GUPTA ) May 3, 2010. JUDGE 'om' 2
