Petitioners Vs. State of Haryana .... Respondent CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE L. N. MITTAL * * * Present : Mr. Narinder Singh, Advocate for Mr. Sarfraj Hussain, Advocate for the petitioners. Mr. Sidharth Sarup, AAG, Haryana. * * * L. N. MITTAL, J. (Oral) : Subhash and his father Sampat have filed this petition for bail in case FIR No. 67 dated 12.03.2008, under Sections 323, 325, 452, 376, 506, 34 of the Indian Penal Code, registered at Police Station Punhana, District Mewat. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the case file. I need not go into the merits of the case. The petitioners were already on bail. However, due to death of father-in-law of petitioner no.2 Sampat, the petitioners could not appear before the trial court on 26.02.2009 and even an application for exemption from personal appearance was Crl. Misc. No. M-14186 of 2009 2 moved, but the said application was not accepted and warrants of the petitioners were issued. The petitioners appeared before the trial court on the next date of hearing i.e. on 17.03.2009 and are in custody since then. The petitioners are in custody since 17.03.2009 i.e. for the last 3½ months. They had jumped bail by absenting from the trial court on one date of hearing only and that too, on account of death of their close relative. In view of the aforesaid, without commenting anything on the merits, the instant bail petition is allowed. Bail to the satisfaction of learned Chief Judicial Magistrate/Duty Magistrate, Nuh (District Mewat). July 01, 2009 ( L. N. MITTAL ) monika JUDGE
