Crl. Misc. No. M-108 of 2010 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Crl. Misc. No. M-108 of 2010 DATE OF DECISION: February 17, 2010 Om Parkash .........PETITIONER(S) VERSUS State of Haryana ......RESPONDENT(S) CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE AJAI LAMBA Present: Mr. Harmanjit Singh, Advocate, for the petitioner(s). Mr. Tarun Aggarwal, Sr. DAG, Haryana. AJAI LAMBA, J. (ORAL) This petition has been filed under Section 439 Cr.P.C. for bail in case FIR No. 481 dated 22.09.2009 under Section 304-B/498-A/406/120- B IPC, P.S. Faridabad Central, District Faridabad. Learned counsel for the petitioner contends that the petitioner is 70-71 years of age. The petitioner is a heart patient. It has also been brought out that husband of the deceased is in jail. The petitioner has been in custody since September 2009 and no useful purpose would be served by further custody of the petitioner. I have considered the contention of the learned counsel. I find that Rubby d/o Ashok Kumar died on account of strangulation. The petitioner alongwith co-accused were at home at the point in time when the incident took place. Two of the co-accused are still absconding. Crl. Misc. No. M-108 of 2010 2 Considering the manner in which the offence has been committed and the fact that the petitioner was in the house at that point in time, even considering the age of the petitioner, I am of the opinion that it is not a fit case to grant bail under Section 439 Cr.P.C. Dismissed. 17.02.2010 (AJAI LAMBA) shivani JUDGE
