HARBHAJAN SINGH Vs. STATE OF PUNJAB

JUDGEMENT

(1.) AT the time of issuance of notice of motion on March 6, 2006, following contention of counsel for the petitioner was noticed by this Court:

(2.) PETITIONER is stated to be in jail for the last more than three months. Counsel for the petitioner states that for remaining absent on one date before the trial Court, he has suffered sufficient punishment. This Court feels that the argument advanced is perfectly justified. In view of the fact that earlier petitioner was on bail, this petition is allowed and during pendency of the trial, he is ordered to be released on bail, against two heavy sureties, to the satisfaction of the trial Court. However, trial Court will be at liberty to proceed further, regarding forfeiture of earlier bail bonds, as per law.
