Criminal Misc. No. M-10760 of 2011 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Criminal Misc. No. M-10760 of 2011 Date of decision : 27.05.2011 Savitri and another ....Petitioners V/s State of Haryana ....Respondent BEFORE : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJAN GUPTA Present: Mr. R.P. Dhull, Advocate for the petitioners. Mr. Sidharth Sarup, Dy. 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. 224 dated 27.06.2010 under Sections 302/325/323/147/148/149 IPC at Police Station Tosham. Learned counsel for the petitioners contends that petitioners who are middle aged women are in custody since 09.01.2011. He submits that they are attributed injuries to Chand Kaur, one of the injured and not to the deceased Phool Singh. He submits that trial may take long time to conclude, thus, no useful purpose would be served by detaining the petitioners in custody during the same. Learned State counsel has opposed the prayer for bail on the ground that allegations against the petitioners are serious. He, however, has brought to the notice of the court that trial is already in progress and one prosecution witness has already been examined. Criminal Misc. No. M-10760 of 2011 2 Keeping in view the aforesaid contentions, period of incarceration of the petitioners and the fact that petitioners are ladies and not likely to temper with the prosecution evidence, I am of the considered view that no useful purpose would be served by detaining the petitioners any longer. Without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, I deem it appropriate to grant regular bail to the petitioners. Accordingly, the petition is allowed and petitioners are ordered to be enlarged on bail to the satisfaction of Chief Judicial Magistrate/Duty Magistrate, Bhiwani. May 27, 2011 (RAJAN GUPTA) Ajay JUDGE
