Present:

Mr. Sandeep Sharma, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr. H.S. Multani, AAG, Punjab.

***** HARNARESH SINGH GILL, J. (ORAL) Case is taken up for hearing through video conferencing. The status report by way of affidavit dated 18.10.2021 of the Deputy Superintendent of Police, Sub-Division City Pathankot, District Pathankot, already filed in the Registry, is taken on record. Through this petition, the petitioner seeks regular bail in case bearing FIR No.0079 dated 12.06.2021 registered under Sections 307, 120-B IPC and Section 25 of the Arms Act, 1959 at Police Station Division No.1, Tehsil and District Pathankot.

Learned counsel for the petitioner states that petitioner has been falsely implicated in the present case. It is further stated that four gun-shots have been fired in the air by Jatin, who is the son of the petitioner. Neither any injury has been attributed to the petitioner nor any other case is registered/pending against him. The petitioner has been in custody since 12.06.2021.

Learned counsel for the State while opposing the prayer of the petitioner for grant of bail, has stated that as per the status report, there are two cases registered against the son of the petitioner and the petitioner has actively participated in the occurrence.

I have heard the learned counsel for the parties. Petitioner has been in custody since 12.06.2021. Neither any injury has been attributed to the petitioner nor any other case is registered or pending against him. The trial is unlikely to conclude any time soon. Therefore, no useful purpose would be served by keeping the petitioner behind the bars. In view of the above, without commenting anything on the merits, lest it should prejudice the case of either side, the present petition is allowed and the petitioner is ordered to be released on bail on his furnishing bail and surety bonds to the satisfaction of the learned trial Court/Duty Magistrate.
