from the alleged place of occurrence and which fact could not be controverted by the State counsel who has rightly conceded to the fact that neither any alleged weapon of offence nor any empties have been recovered from the place of occurrence.

¶16

Without going into the merits of the case, in the light of the fact that the petitioners are languishing in jail since 15.11.2014 and investigation and trial is not likely to conclude in the near future, this Court is of the opinion that further detention of the petitioners in the present case is not warranted. Accordingly, they are ordered to be released on regular bail to the satisfaction of learned Chief Judicial Magistrate/Duty Magistrate, Amritsar.

¶17

The present petition stands disposed off accordingly.
