**** JAISHREE THAKUR, J.
( ORAL) By this common order, this Court proposes to dispose of these two petitions for grant of regular bail to the petitioners in FIR No.84 dated 19.05.2017 under Sections 363, 365, 366, 379-B, 307, 506, 34, 120-B IPC (Section 201 IPC added later on) and Section 25, 54, 59 of the Arms Act in the case of Shamsher Singh @ Shera and under Sections 363, 364, 366, 365, 307, 506, 379-B, 34, 120-B IPC and Section 25 of the Arms Act in the case POONAM BHATT 2021.09.21 17:27 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document
CRM-M No.13743 of 2021 -2of Gurjit Singh alias Ladda registered at Police Station Ajnala, District Amritsar Rural.
Counsel for the petitioners would contend that Gurjit Singh has been in custody since 11.10.2017, whereas Shamsher Singh has been in custody since 10.09.2020 and therefore, ought to be allowed regular bail based on the length of the custody itself.
Counsel for the respondent-State would oppose grant of regular bail to the petitioner(s) on the ground that the matter is at the fag end. It is submitted that 16 witnesses were cited, out of which 12 witnesses have been examined and 4 have given up.
Counsel for the complainant also opposes grant of regular bail to the petitioner(s) by contending that the complainant is under continuous threat of Gurjit Singh, who is also an accused in Nabha Jail Break Case and she has been summoned once again on an application moved by him. I have heard counsel for the parties and find that trial is at the fag end and therefore, no ground is made out for allowing regular bail to the petitioners in the facts and circumstances of the present case. However, trial Court is directed to expedite the trial.
The instant petitions are disposed of with the aforesaid observation.
