JUDGMENT : A.B. CHAUDHARI, J. 1. The petitioner has filed the present petition under Section 439 Cr.P.C. seeking regular bail in FIR No.123 dated 09.05.2016 registered under Sections 302, 323, 341, 427, 149 and 120-B IPC at Police Station Salem Tabri, District Ludhiana. 2. Heard learned counsel for the rival parties and perused the FIR as well as the impugned order. 3. Upon hearing learned counsel for the rival parties, prima facie I find that there is no overt act ascribed to the present petitioner, though this is the case of serious of murder. The trial is not likely to take place early in view of the application under Section 319 Cr.P.C. for summoning one more accused. 4. In that view of the matter, I am inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. Hence, I make the following order: ORDER (i) The petition is allowed. (ii) The petitioner be released on bail to the satisfaction of the concerned Trial Court. (iii) The petitioner shall not tamper or influence the prosecution witnesses. (iv) In case of violation the liberty is reserved to apply for cancellation of bail. (v) The trial court is directed to expedite the trial of the case.
