Inderjit Singh, J.

The petitioner has filed this petition under Section 439 Cr.P.C. for grant of regular bail in case FIR No.01 dated 03.01.2018 (Annexure-P.1) registered for the offences under Sections 302, 201 and 34 IPC at Police Station Lambi, District Sri Muktsar Sahib.

Notice of motion was issued in this case.

Ms. Monika Jalota, learned Deputy Advocate General, Punjab has appeared on behalf of the respondent-State and contested this petition. I have heard learned counsel for the petitioner as well as learned State counsel and have gone through the record. The FIR in the present case was got registered by Sarabjeet Kaur, who stated that she is sister of Tarsem Singh (since deceased). The allegation as per the FIR is that Inderjit Kaur wife of Tarsem Singh was having illicit relations with Ramandeep Singh alias Ricky and the present HARPAL SINGH PARMAR 2019.05.01 10:28 I attest to the accuracy and authenticity of this document Chandigarh

Cr. Misc. No.M-9506 of 2019 [2] petitioner got killed Tarsem Singh.

Learned counsel for the petitioner argued that there is no evidence on record against the present petitioner. The post-mortem examination was not got conducted on the dead body of Tarsem Singh. There are no inquest proceedings. The dead body was cremated without informing the Police.

On the other hand, learned State counsel argued that there is extra-judicial confession made by the accused along with other evidence. The petitioner has been in custody since 04.01.2018. The petitioner is not required for interrogation or investigation purposes as he is in judicial custody. The trial of the case is likely to take long time. No useful purpose will be served by keeping the petitioner in custody till the final disposal of the case.

Therefore, keeping in view the facts and circumstances of the present case; without discussing the facts in minute detail and without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, this criminal miscellaneous petition is allowed and the petitioner is ordered to be released on bail subject to his furnishing personal bond in the sum of `50,000/- with one surety in the like amount to the satisfaction of the trial Court/Duty Magistrate.
