Present:

Mr. Ashok Kumar Khunger, Advocate for for the petitioner.

Mr. K.D.Sachdeva, DAG, Punjab.

**** DEEPAK MANCHANDA , J.(Oral) CRM-23691-2025 This application has been filed under Section 528 read with Section 483 of BNSS for grant of interim bail for a period of 20 days to the petitioner in case FIR No.0032 dated 03.06.2024 under Sections 324, 323 and 34 of Indian Penal Code, 1860 (Section 326 IPC added later on) registered at Police Station Sadar Abohar, District Fazilka to enable him to attend the bhog ceremony of his wife, namely, Balwinder Kaur, who expired on 25.05.2025. The same is not pressed.

Main case Learned counsel for the applicant-petitioner, however, contends that the allegations against the petitioner are that he was armed with tamba and the injury attributed to the petitioner is simple in nature, whereas later on Section 326 IPC was added and the same is attributed to the other co-accused, namely, Amritpal, who is still in custody.

CRM-M-31660-2025(O&M)  Learned counsel for the petitioner further contends that the petitioner is in custody since 14.05.2025 and it is a case of version and cross version, where the petitioner has also received injury i.e. fracture of proximal phalanx of little finger. In support of his argument, he has placed reliance upon MLR of the petitioner annexed as Annexure P-3. He prays for granting bail. Learned State counsel does not dispute the aforesaid fact. Heard.

Keeping in view the above and the fact that it is a case of version and cross version where both the parties have received injuries and the injury attributed to the petitioner is simple in nature, this Court deems it appropriate to release the petitioner on regular bail.

Resultantly, without meaning any expression of opinion on the merits of the case, it is ordered that the petitioner be released on regular bail subject to his furnishing requisite bail bonds/surety bonds to the satisfaction of the trial Court/CJM/Duty Magistrate concerned. The petition is allowed.
