Criminal Misc. No. M-19728 of 2010 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Criminal Misc. No. M-19728 of 2010 Date of decision : 23.08.2010 Ram Pal ....Petitioner V/s State of Haryana ....Respondent BEFORE : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJAN GUPTA Present: Ms. Meenakshi Dogra, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Gaurav Dhir, Deputy Advocate General, Haryana. RAJAN GUPTA J. (ORAL) This is a petition filed under Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure seeking regular bail in a case registered against the petitioner vide FIR No. 172 dated 27.04.2010 under Sections 148, 149, 307/323, 324, 452 & 506 IPC and Sections 3/33/89 of S.C. & S.T. Act at Police Station Sadar Palwal. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that petitioner has only been attributed a simple injury by blunt weapon to one of the injured. He submits that injury attracting offence under Section 307 IPC is not attributed to the petitioner. He, thus, submits that no useful purpose would be served by detaining the petitioner in custody during the pendency of the trial. Criminal Misc. No. M-19728 of 2010 2 Learned State counsel has opposed the prayer for bail on the ground that allegations against the petitioner are serious in nature. He, however, on instructions from ASI Devinder Singh, who is present in court does not dispute the fact that Mam Chand to whom injury under Section 307 IPC is attributed has already been granted the concession of bail. Keeping in view the aforesaid contentions and period of incarceration undergone by the petitioner, I am of the 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 to the satisfaction of Chief Judicial Magistrate/Duty Magistrate, Palwal. August 23, 2010 (RAJAN GUPTA) Ajay JUDGE
