::1:: (239) IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH CRM-M-33078-2026 (O & M) Date of Decision: 06.07.2026 Jashan Singh ... Petitioner Versus State of Punjab ...Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE JASJIT SINGH BEDI Present: Mr. Lupil Gupta, Advocate with Mr. Sunit Kumar, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. M.S. Toor, AAG, Punjab. **** JASJIT SINGH BEDI, J. The prayer in the present petition under Section 483 BNSS is for the grant of regular bail in case bearing FIR No.18 dated 21.01.2026 under Sections 310(4), 310(5) of BNS (corresponding Sections 399 and 402 IPC), registered at Police Station City Moga. 2. The learned counsel for the petitioner contends that the petitioner has been falsely implicated in the present case. Three co-accused of the petitioner namely Lovepreet Singh, Sonu Kumar and Pawan Kumar alias Pawan Alias Pawna have already been granted the concession of regular bail. As the petitioner is in custody since 21.01.2026 but none of the 05 prosecution witnesses has been examined so far, the Trial of the present case is not likely to be concluded anytime soon and therefore, the petitioner is entitled to the concession of bail. 4. The learned counsel for the State, on the other hand, while referring to the reply dated 05.07.2026, which is taken on record, contends VISHAL SETHI 2026.07.07 10:44 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document ::2:: that the allegations levelled against the petitioner are grave. Pursuant to the arrest of the petitioner, a Khanda has been recovered from him. Therefore, he is not entitled to the concession as prayed for. He, however, concedes that the petitioner is in custody since 21.01.2026 but none of the 05 prosecution witnesses has been examined so far and that three co-accused of the petitioner namely Lovepreet Singh, Sonu Kumar and Pawan Kumar alias Pawan Alias Pawna have already been granted the concession of bail. 5. I have heard the learned counsel for the parties. 6. The veracity of the prosecution case against the petitioner and his co-accused shall be adjudicated upon during the course of the Trial. Admittedly, the petitioner is in custody since 21.01.2026 but none of the 05 prosecution witnesses has been examined so far. Therefore, the Trial in the present case is not likely to be concluded anytime soon. In this situation, the further incarceration of the petitioner is not required. 6. Thus without commenting on the merits of the case, the present petition is allowed and the petitioner-Jashan Singh is ordered to be released on bail subject to his furnishing bail bonds and surety bonds to the satisfaction of learned CJM/Duty Magistrate, concerned. 7. The petition stands disposed of.
