Cr. Misc. No.M-16633 of 2016 [2] learned Assistant Advocate General, Punjab appearing for the respondentState and learned counsel for the complainant and have gone through the record.

From the record, I find that the present petitioner is in custody since 1.10.2015. He has not caused injury dangerous to life and he is not the main accused. Though the present petitioner is named in the FIR, but no specific injury has been attributed to him. As he is in judicial custody, he is no more required for further interrogation and investigation purposes. The trial of the case will 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.
