Therefore, kindly take strict legal action against above Gurdit Singh alias Deep and his persons who have helped him in attacking me. Statement recorded and admitted to be true and correct. Sd/-Paramjit Kaur.” 3. At the very outset, learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner was not initially named in the FIR and has been nominated as an accused on the basis of the disclosure statement suffered by co-accused. Even as per the said statement, the petitioner was the driver of one of the motorcycle and the injury was caused by Charan Singh, who was a pillion rider. He further contends that the parties have compromised the matter with each other and the main accused namely Gurdit Singh @ Deep has been granted the concession of anticipatory bail by a coordinate Bench of this Court vide order dated 12.05.2025 (Annexure P-4). 4. On the other hand, learned State counsel assisted by learned counsel for the complainant have vehemently opposed the submissions made by learned counsel for the petitioner on the ground that serious allegations have been levelled against the present petitioner and he does not deserve the concession of bail by this Court. 5. Mr. Anuj Tanwar, Advocate for the complainant submits that he has no objection in case the petition is allowed by this Court. He has also filed his power of attorney on behalf of the complainant, which is taken on record. 6. I have heard the learned counsel for the parties and perused the record carefully. 7. In the present case, the petitioner is stated to be in custody for the last more than 04 months and challan has been presented against him. The parties have entered into a compromise in the present case and still further main VIPIN KUMAR 2025.07.14 11:43 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this judgment/order CRM-M-35205-2025 -4- accused namely Gurdit Singh @ Deep has been granted the concession of anticipatory bail by this Court vide order dated 12.05.2025 (Annexure P-4). Thus, the further custody of the petitioner will not serve any useful purpose. 8.
