(ORAL) Prayer in the instant petition under Section 439 Cr.P.C. has been made for grant of regular bail to petitioners Harwinder Singh and Harbans Singh in a case arising from FIR No.146 dated 25.08.2017 registered under Sections 307, 353, 186, 427, 148, 109, 149 and 120-B IPC at Police Station Dirba, District Sangrur.

According to the prosecution, petitioners were sitting on the rear seat of Swift Dezire car bearing registration No.PB-28-E-0377 driven by Satpal Singh. They were apprehended at the spot. Bottles of petrol were recovered from them, which they were carrying to disturb the law and order situation in the State on account of conviction of self-styled Baba Gurmeet Ram Rahim.

Learned counsel for the petitioners inter alia contends that the petitioners are in custody since 25.08.2017. The conclusion of trial shall take a long time. No useful purpose would be served by detaining the Ravinder Singh 2017.12.02 12:39 I attest to the accuracy and authenticity of this document petitioners in jail.

Consequently, petitioners are ordered to be released on bail, on their furnishing bail bonds and surety bonds, to the satisfaction of Trial Court/Duty Magistrate concerned.
