CHANDIGARH CRM-M-8867-2026 Date of Decision: 29.04.2026 MOHIT KUMAR @ AJAY ... PETITIONER

VERSUS

STATE OF PUNJAB ...RESPONDENT CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE JASJIT SINGH BEDI

Present:

Mr. Raghav Soni, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Harkanwar Jeet Singh, AAG, Punjab.

Mr. A.S.Shergill, Advocate for Mr. Simranjit Singh, Advocate for the complainant. **** JASJIT SINGH BEDI, J.

The prayer in the present petition under Section 483 BNSS is for the grant of regular bail in case bearing FIR No.134 dated 29.07.2024 registered under Sections 309(4), 3(5), 309(6), 317(2) and 238 of BNS at Police Station Gate Hakima, Amritsar.

2.

The learned counsel for the petitioner contends that a compromise has been arrived at between the parties and a quashing petition based on the said compromise has been filed, which is pending adjudication for 13.08.2026. As the petitioner is in custody since 30.07.2024 but only 01 of the 20 prosecution witnesses has been examined so far, the Trial of the present case is not likely to be concluded anytime soon and therefore, he is entitled to the concession of bail.

3.

The learned counsel for the State, on the other hand, submits that though a compromise has been arrived at between the parties, the allegations leveled against the petitioner are grave and therefore he is not entitled to the KUSUM 2026.05.01 16:32 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document PHHC Chandigarh

CRM-M-8867-2026 concession of bail. He, however, concedes that the petitioner is in custody since 30.07.2024 and that only 01 of the 20 prosecution witnesses has been examined so far.

5.

The learned counsel for the complainant does not dispute the factum of a compromise having been arrived at between the parties and states that he has no objection, if the petitioner is granted the concession of bail. 6.

I have heard the learned counsel for the parties. 7.

Admittedly, a compromise has been arrived at between the parties and CRM-M-6590-2026 has been filed seeking quashing of the FIR on the basis of a compromise, which is pending adjudication for 13.08.2026. As the petitioner is in custody since 30.07.2026 but only 01 of the 20 prosecution witnesses has been examined so far, the Trial of the present case is not likely to be concluded anytime soon. In this situation, the further incarceration of the petitioner is not required. 8.

Thus, without commenting upon the merits of the case, the present petition is allowed and the petitioner, namely, Mohit Kumar @ Ajay S/o Rupinder Kumar @ Rapinder Kumar is ordered to be released on bail to the satisfaction of the Trial Court/Duty Magistrate concerned upon furnishing fresh bail bonds/surety bonds.

9.

The petition stands disposed of.
