JUSTICE RAJAN GUPTA Present: Mr. Satish Chaudhary, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Vikas Malik, AAG 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. 212 dated 24.06.2009 under Sections 395, 397, 307 & 216 IPC and Section 25 of the Arms Act at Police Station Punhana, District Mewat. Learned counsel for the petitioner contends that petitioner is in custody since October 21, 2010. He submits that investigation of the case has been completed and in the alleged occurrence no injury was caused to anybody, thus, no useful purpose would be served by detaining the petitioner in custody during the pendency of trial. Learned State counsel has opposed the prayer for bail on the ground that allegations against the petitioner are serious. He, however, does Criminal Misc. No. M-9799 of 2011 2 not dispute the period of incarceration of the petitioner and the fact that investigation has been completed. Heard. Keeping in view the aforesaid contentions, period of incarceration of the petitioner and the fact that investigation of the case has been completed, 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, Nuh. May 11, 2011 (RAJAN GUPTA) Ajay JUDGE
