For decision of the petitions, the facts are being taken from Criminal Misc. No. M-3749 of 2015).

Criminal Misc. No. M-3749 of 2015 And Connected Case.

This is a petition for seeking regular bail to the petitioner in the above mentioned FIR.

Four contentions of learned counsel for the petitioners are that these petitioners were not attributed fatal injuries; they have now been in custody for almost one year; the complainant and the eye witness have been examined and 22 witnesses remain for examination. Learned Additional Advocate General, on instructions from Assistant Sub Inspector Jagtar Singh, has accepted these factual assertions. However, she has argued that this is a case where one person has died and, therefore, the petitioners should not be released on bail.

Without going into the merits of the case and keeping in view the above mentioned admitted factual assertions, I do not deem it appropriate to deny the petitioners the concession of bail. Thus, both the petitions are allowed and the petitioners are released on regular bail to the satisfaction of the trial Court.
