Gurtej Singh vs State, Through P.p

The present bail application has been filed under Section 439 Cr.P.C. on behalf of the petitioner who is in custody in connection with F.I.R.

No.220/2018, Police Station Ramsinghpur, District Sri Ganganagar for the offences under Sections 8/21, 25 of NDPS Act and Section 4/25 of Arms

Act and Sections 399 and 402 of IPC.

Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Public Prosecutor. Perused the material available on record.

It is submitted on behalf of the petitioner that the co-accused Rajveer Singh @ Nikka Pahalwan, Darbar Singh & Shobat Ali @ Kaka have already been granted bail by a coordinate bench of this Court vide orders dated 01/02/2019 and 17/01/2019 respectively and the case of the present petitioner is not distinguishable from the case of the co-accused who have already been released on bail by this Court.

The learned Public Prosecutor opposes the bail application but he is unable to distinguish the case of the present petitioner vis-a-vis the case of the co-

accused persons who have been enlarged on bail.

Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case and upon a consideration of the arguments advanced and considering the fact that the case of the present petitioner is identical to co-accused aforesaid who have been enlarged on bail by this Court, this Court is of the opinion that the petitioner is also entitled for the grant of bail under Section 439 Cr.P.C.

Consequently, the bail application is allowed. It is ordered that the accused-petitioner Gurtej Singh S/o Sh. Jasvinder Singh arrested in connection with

F.I.R. No.220/2018, Police Station Ramsinghpur, District Sri Ganganagar, shall be released on bail; provided he furnishes a personal bond of

Rs.1,00,000/-(Rupees: One Lac Only) with two sureties of Rs.50,000/- (Rupees: Fifty Thousand Only) each to the satisfaction of the learned trial court with the stipulation to appear before that Court on all dates of hearing and as and when called upon to do so.
