I have heard counsel for the parties and gone through the contents of the FIR as well as the order dated 22.2.2007, passed by Sessions Judge, Ropar, whereby bail application of the petitioner has been dismissed. 3. In the aforesaid case, petitioner was released on regular bail, as all the offences were bailable. Subsequently, he did not appear before the trial court and was declared proclaimed offender. Thereafter, he surrendered on 5.2.2007 and since then, he is in custody. Counsel for the petitioner contends that supplementary challan has been filed and trial is not likely to conclude soon. These material facts have not been disputed by the State counsel. Crl. Misc. No. 13542-M of 2007 -2- 4. In view of the above, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, I deem it appropriate to grant regular bail to the petitioner and he is, accordingly, ordered to be released on bail subject to his furnishing bail bonds to the satisfaction of the trial court.
