JUDGMENT D.S. Bajpai, J. - Heard learned counsel for the applicant and the learned Assistant Government Advocate and perused the decision of the Supreme Court in Nimeon Sangma and others v. Home Secretary, Government of Meghalaya and others, reported in 1979 Crl LJ page 941 in which their Lordships have given a dictum that the spirit and the provisions of the Criminal Procedure Code specially in the matters of personal liberty have to be observed and persons should not ordinarily be kept in custody for more than six months in cases other than under Sections 302 and 395 of the Indian Penal Code. The matter before me is a case under Section 307 of the Indian Penal Code and the applicant has been in jail for about 7 months. He is also stated to be 70 years of age. I consider it to be a fit case in which the applicant should be enlarged on bail and I, accordingly, direct the applicant to be enlarged on bail on his furnishing two sureties and a personal bond in the like amount to the satisfaction, of C.J.M. concerned.
