Cr. Misc. No.M-32784 of 2015 [2] I have heard learned counsel for the petitioners as well as learned Assistant Advocate General, Punjab appearing for the respondentState and have gone through the record. From the record, I find that the grievous injury is on non-vital part of the body i.e. on the lips, which is attributed to Gurwinder Singh. The petitioners are in custody since 25.8.2015 The petitioners are not required for interrogation or investigation purposes as there are in judicial custody. Nothing is to be recovered from them as they are now in judicial custody. The presentation of challan as well as trial of the case will take long time. No useful purpose will be served by keeping the petitioners 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 petitioners are ordered to be released on bail subject to their furnishing personal bonds in the sum of `40,000/- with one surety each in the like amount to the satisfaction of the trial Court/Duty Magistrate.

October 5, 2015.
