(ORAL) This is a petition for regular bail in a case registered against the petitioner under Sections 148, 149, 323, 324, 302, 325, 120-B, 212 IPC and 25 of Arms Act at police station Nuh District Mewat vide FIR No. 321 dated 06.09.2008. Learned counsel for the petitioner has argued that the petitioner was only present on the spot when the alleged occurrence took place. However, he did not caused any injury to the deceased, even according to the prosecution version. According to the counsel, petitioner is in custody since 08.10.2008. Learned counsel for the State (on instructions from ASI Joginder Singh, who is present in Court) has submitted that the petitioner is identically situated as certain other accused namely Azruddin, Tahir and Nahid, who have already been granted bail by the Court below. Without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case and taking into consideration the period of incarceration already suffered by him Crl. Misc No. M-14592 of 2009 -2- and the fact that trial may take some time to conclude, I am of the considered view that petitioner deserves to be released on bail especially when the co-accused of the petitioner have already been granted similar relief. Accordingly, the petition is allowed and the petitioner is ordered to be enlarged on bail to the satisfaction of Sub Divisional Judicial Magistrate, Nuh. 06.08.2009 (RAJAN GUPTA) Ajay JUDGE
