                          versus

Pritam Pal,J. (Oral)

Petitioner has brought this petition under section 439 of Code

of Criminal Procedure for seeking regular bail in case FIR No. 57 dated

4.5.2008 under sections 307, 392, 324, 323, 341, 427, 506, 148, 149 IPC

registered at Police Station Dehlon District Ludhiana (Rural).

Learned counsel for the petitioner contends that the case of the

petitioner is at par to that of accused Daljit Singh alias Jaggu who has since

been released on bail on 8.12.2008 passed in Criminal Misc. No. M-26585

of 2008.

Without commenting on the merits of this case and taking into

consideration the fact that the petitioner is in custody since 2.8.2008 and the

trial is likely to take a long time, he is ordered to be released on bail on his

furnishing bail/surety bonds to the satisfaction of the Chief Judicial

Magistrate, Ludhiana.

Criminal Misc. is disposed of.
