The petitioner is seeking regular bail under Section 439 Cr.P.C., in case FIR No.117 dated 08.07.2023, under Sections 307, 341, 324, 323, 148, 149, 427 and 120-B of IPC, registered at Police Station Bhikhi, District Mansa.

2.

The case of the prosecution is that the complainant, namely Manpreet Singh, along with his friend Lovepreet Singh, was beaten by the petitioner in connivance with his co-accused. 3.

Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that petitioner has not been attributed any specific injury. The petitioner is in custody for the last 02 years and 01 month and 14 days as an undertrial. He further submits that since the trial is yet to be commenced, that continuous detention of the petitioner would not serve the ends of justice, therefore, petitioner be released on regular bail.

CRM-M-41136-2024 has filed custody certificate of the petitioner in the Court today, which is taken on record. As per custody certificate, the petitioner is in custody for the last 2 years, 1 month and 14 days.

5.

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

6.

In view of the above submissions of learned counsel for the parties and considering the custody period undergone by the petitioner and the fact that trial is yet to be commenced, the 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.

7.

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 learned trial Court/Duty Magistrate/Chief Judicial Magistrate concerned.

8.

However, it is made clear that in case the petitioner misuses the concession of bail, the State would be at liberty to seek cancellation of his bail.
