considered view that no useful purpose would be served by detaining the petitioner in custody any longer. Without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, I deem it appropriate to grant regular bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, the petition is allowed and petitioner is ordered to be enlarged on bail on his furnishing heavy surety to the satisfaction of Chief Judicial Magistrate/Duty Magistrate, Ropar. Apart from heavy surety, the petitioner will be required to furnish an undertaking that he will not try to influence the witnesses during the pendency of trial.
