Jasvir Singh @ Tilu vs State Of Punjab on 17 August, 2023
7. As per the custody cer ficate, the pe oner's total custody is 3years and 2
months. Although the pe oner has criminal antecedents but indisputably has spent
more than three years in pre-trial custody in this FIR. Thus, he is en tled to bail based
on Dheeraj Kumar Shukla v. The State of U ar Pradesh [SLP (Crl) 6690-2022], decided on
25 Jan 2023, not because his custody is of two years and six months but because his
custody is more than three years and considering the quan ty involved in the earlier
case and nature of offence in second case, the criminal history should not come as a
hindrance.
