Learned counsel for the petitioner contends that the petitioner MANOJ KUMAR 2020.11.09 18:31 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document

CRM-M-35928 of 2020 #2# has falsely been involved. Alleged recovery has falsely been foisted upon the petitioner and that the petitioner has no connection with the co-accused and that the trial is not making any headway. Opposing the petition, the learned State counsel has submitted that challan in this case was presented on 06.05.2020 and the petitioner in custody since 07.03.2020.

Without commenting anything on the merits of the case and also bearing in mind the custody period, in my opinion, no useful purpose will be served by detaining the petitioner behind bars any further. The petition, as such, is accepted. The petitioner Jaswinder Singh @ Jony is ordered to be released on bail on his furnishing bail bonds/surety bonds to the satisfaction of learned trial Court/Chief Judicial Magistrate/Duty Magistrate concerned.

This present petition stands accepted accordingly November 09, 2020 (Harinder Singh Sidhu) manoj Judge Whether speaking/reasoned: Yes/No Whether Reportable: Yes/No MANOJ KUMAR 2020.11.09 18:31 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document
