VERSUS

STATE OF PUNJAB ... RESPONDENT CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE H.S.GREWAL Present:- Mr. J.S.Moudgill, Advocate for the petitioner. H.S. GREWAL, J. (ORAL) 1.

The petitioner is seeking 2nd regular bail under Section 483 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (439 Cr.P.C.) in FIR No.148 dated 07.11.2025, registered under Sections 109, 115(2), 126(2), 117(2), 117(4), 351(3), 191(3), 190 of the BNS (corresponding to Sections 307, 323, 339, 325, 503, 146, 147, 148, 149 IPC) at Police Station Chhajli, District Sangrur. 2.

The case of the prosecution is that the FIR has been registered on the statement of complainant Kamaljeet Singh alleging that on 05.11.2025 petitioner along with the co-accused had caused injuries to him. The role attributed to the petitioner is that he had inflicted iron rod blow under the left knee of the complainant.

3.

Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has been falsely implicated in the present case. The petitioner is in custody for the last 07 months and 13 days and is not involved in any other case. He, thus, prays for grant of bail to the petitioner. 4.

Notice of motion.

5.

Mr. Sandeep Kumar, D.A.G., Punjab accepts notice on behalf of the State and Mr. Vishnu Dutt, Advocate appearing for Mr. Naveen Bawa, Advocate has put in appearance on behalf of the complainant and vehemently oppose the prayer for grant of regular bail to the petitioner on the ground of gravity of allegations. Learned State counsel has filed the status report by way of affidavit of Rupinder Kaur, Deputy Superintendent of Police, Sub Division Dirba and custody certificate in the Court today and the same are taken on record. As per the custody certificate, the petitioner is in custody for the last 07 months and 13 days. 6.

I have heard the learned counsel for the parties and perused the record.

7.

After hearing the rival contentions of the learned counsel for the parties and keeping in view the facts and circumstances of the case that the petitioner is in custody for the last 07 months and 13 days and is not involved in any other case; trial is yet to commence and continuous detention of the petitioner would not serve the ends of justice, this Court deems it fit to grant the concession of regular bail to the petitioner during the pendency of the trial.

8.

Therefore, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, the instant petition is allowed. The petitioner is ordered to be released on regular bail on his furnishing requisite bail bonds, surety bonds to the satisfaction of the trial Court/Duty Magistrate/Chief Judicial Magistrate concerned.

9.

Nothing discussed hereinabove shall be construed as an expression of opinion on the merits of the case. 10.

It is clarified that while on bail so granted through the instant

order the petitioner is found indulging in any other criminal case, it shall be open to the State to seek cancellation of his bail. 11.

Pending miscellaneous application(s), if any, shall also stand disposed of.
