Present:

Mr. Randeep Singh Rana, Advocate, for the petitioner. Ms. Manpreet Dhaliwal, AAG, Punjab.

**** RITU BAHRI, J. (Oral) Present petition is for release of petitioner on regular bail in FIR No.192 dated 27.11.2016, under Section 306 read with Section 34 IPC, registered at Police Station Sadar Jagraon, District Ludhiana. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has been falsely implicated in the present case just to extract money from him. As per the allegations in the FIR, in the year 2011, the complainant had given `6 lakhs to other co-accused, namely, Jatinder Singh and Daljit Kaur, after selling their house.

Learned State counsel, on instructions from the investigating officer, has informed that during investigation above-said co-accused Jatinder Singh and Daljit Singh have been found innocent and challan only against the present petitioner has been prepared.

CRM-M-3065-2017 -2I have heard the learned counsel for the parties and with their able assistance gone through the material available on record. The petitioner was arrested on 27.11.2016. Since then, he is in judicial custody and no useful purpose would be served to further detain him in jail. The final conclusion of trial will take a long time. In view of above facts, the present petition is allowed. The petitioner is ordered to be released on regular bail on his furnishing adequate bail bonds and surety bonds to the satisfaction of learned trial Judge/Duty Magistrate, Ludhiana.

Needless to mention that, nothing observed here-in-above, would reflect, on merits in the trial of the main case, in any manner.
