Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has been falsely implicated in the present case and neither any specific injury nor any motive has been attributed to him. He further submits that with the intervention of the respectable of the Society, the matter has been compromised between the parties. Learned counsel has referred to a copy of the compromise at Annexure P-2 in this regard. Learned counsel also submits that the petitioner is in custody for the last more than 05 months and several co-accused(s) have already been granted bail by this Court. He has referred to the copies of the orders granting bail to co-accused(s) at Annexures P-3 to P-9. He, therefore, prays for release of the petitioner on regular bail as none out of 11 cited prosecution witnesses has been examined so far. 4. Notice of motion. 5. On the asking of the Court, Mr. Sandeep Kumar, DAG, Punjab, accepts notice on behalf of the respondent and vehemently opposes the prayer for grant of regular bail to the petitioner. He has filed the custody certificate of the petitioner in Court, which is taken on record. As per the custody certificate, the petitioner is in custody for the last more than 05 months. He, upon instructions, submits that none out of 11 cited prosecution witnesses has been examined so far. 6. I have heard the learned counsel for the parties and perused the record. 7. In view of the above submissions of learned counsel for the parties and keeping in view the facts that the petitioner is in custody for the last more than 05 months, the matter is stated to have been compromised between the AMIT KAUNDAL 2026.07.14 17:41 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document Chandigarh CRM-M-36405-2026 -3- parties, co-accused(s) have already been granted bail and that the trial is likely to take a long time to conclude as none out of 11 cited prosecution witnesses has been examined so far, therefore, this Court deems it appropriate to grant the concession of regular bail to the petitioner during the pendency of the trial as the continuous detention of the petitioner would not serve the ends of justice. 8. 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. 9. However, it is made clear that in case the petitioner misuses the concession of bail, the State/complainant would be at liberty to seek cancellation of his bail.
