Through the present petition filed under Section 439 Cr.P.C., the petitioner seeks the grant of regular bail in case FIR No. 150 dated 10.09.2015, registered under Section 302 IPC (Sections 148, 149 and 120-B added later on), at Police Station Sultanpur Lodhi, District Kapurthala. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is in custody since 15.09.2015; out of the total 16 prosecution witnesses, only 03 witnesses have been examined so far and therefore, the trial is likely to take a long time to conclude and the only evidence that the prosecution has against the petitioner are his own alleged confessional statement made before the police and the statement of the co-accused Angrez Singh, which, as per settled law, are inadmissible in evidence.

Crl. Misc. No. M-29237 of 2016 bail during the pendency of the trial.

Learned State counsel opposes the bail application on the ground that the allegations against the petitioner are serious in nature. After considering the entire gamut of facts, in the peculiar facts of the case, without commenting anything on the merits of the matter, I consider this case to be a fit case for grant of regular bail. Bail to the satisfaction of Chief Judicial Magistrate/Duty Magistrate, Kapurthala.
