IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Crl. Misc No. M-13152 of 2009 Date of decision : 24.08.2009 Narender @ Namo ....Petitioner V/s State of Haryana ....Respondent BEFORE : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJAN GUPTA Present: Mr. Naveen Kaushik, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Tarun Aggarwal, Sr. DAG Haryana. RAJAN GUPTA J. (ORAL) This is a petition for regular bail in a case registered against the petitioner under Sections 398, 401 IPC & 25/54/59 of the Arms Act at police station City Chandhut, District Palwal vide FIR No. 37 dated 19.02.2009. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that only a iron road has been recovered from the petitioner and there is no independent witness of the alleged occurrence. According to the counsel, the trial of the case has just commenced and is likely to take long time to conclude, no useful purpose would be served by detaining the petitioner in custody, who has been behind the bars since 19.02.2009. Learned counsel for the State has, however, opposed the grant of bail to the petitioner on the ground that allegations against the petitioner are serious in nature. Without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case and taking into consideration the period of detention already suffered by him and the fact that trial may take some time to conclude, I deem it appropriate to grant regular bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, the petition is allowed and he is ordered to be enlarged on bail to the satisfaction of Chief Judicial Magistrate, Faridabad. 24.08.2009 (RAJAN GUPTA) Ajay JUDGE
