Petitioner Versus State of Punjab ...Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE JASJIT SINGH BEDI Present: Mr. Rajesh Pal, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. M.S. Toor, AAG, Punjab. Mr. Punnet Singla, Advocate for the complainant. **** JASJIT SINGH BEDI, J. The prayer in the present petition under Section 483 BNSS is for the grant of regular bail to the petitioner in case bearing FIR No.0012 dated 01.03.2026 under Sections 115(2), 126(2), 296, 351(2), 191(2) and 190 BNS (corresponding Sections 323, 341, 294, 506, 147 and 149 IPC) and Section 109(1) BNS (i.e. Section 307 IPC) added later on, registered at Police Station Handesra, District SAS Nagar, Mohali. 2. The learned counsel for the petitioner contends that a compromise has been arrived at between the parties. As the petitioner is in custody since 12.05.2026 but the investigation has not been completed till date, the Trial of the present case is not likely to be concluded anytime soon and therefore, the petitioner is entitled to the concession of regular bail. VISHAL SETHI 2026.07.09 11:04 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document CRM-M-35184-2026 (O & M) ::2:: 3. The learned counsel for the complainant does not dispute the fact that a compromise has been arrived at between the parties and states that the complainant has no objection in case the petitioner is granted the concession of bail. 4. The counsel for the State, on the other hand, contends that the allegations levelled against the petitioner are grave and therefore, he is not entitled to the concession of bail particularly, when the investigation is still pending. Therefore, the present petition is liable to be dismissed. 5. I have heard the learned counsel for the parties. 6. Admittedly, a compromise has been arrived at between the parties. The petitioner is in custody since 12.05.2026 but the investigation has not been culminated yet. 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. 7. Thus without commenting on the merits of the case, the present petition is allowed and the petitioner-Sukhwant Singh @ Laddi 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. 8. The petition stands disposed of.
