State of Haryana ......Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE RAM CHAND GUPTA Present: Mr.Jitender Nara, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr.Yashpal Malik, DAG, Haryana. Mr.Manish Soni, Advocate for the complainant. ...... RAM CHAND GUPTA, J.(Oral) The present petition filed under Section 439 Cr.P.C. is for grant of regular bail to the petitioner in case FIR No.590 dated 3.10.2008, under Sections 148, 452, 323, 325, 302, 216, 120-B and 149 IPC and 25/54/59 of Arms Act, registered at Police Station Jhajjar. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and have gone through the whole record carefully. As per allegations, the petitioner actively participated in the occurrence. Specific role has been attributed to her causing injuries by farsa. It is a case of double murder. As per allegations on 3.10.2008, Rajinder Singh, the brother of the complainant went to ease himself at about 7.00 a.m., where Narender son of Satbir along with a driver was sitting in vehicle No.HR-13D-1569 near the chopal. Narender raised threat to Crl.M.No.M-18327 of 2009 (O&M) -2- Rajender and, hence, Rajender came to his house and narrated the occurrence. At about 8.00 a.m., Narender, Virender alias Dhillu son of Satbir armed with pistols, Raj Rani wife of Satbir, Jyoti wife of Satbir, Sanjay son of Umrao Singh armed with farsas, while Brahmanand son of Mir Singh, Ram Rati wife of Brahmanand, Rashmi wife of Bhupinder, Bhupinder son of Brahmanand, Sunita wife of Om Parkash reached the house of the complainant. Ram Rati, Rashmi and Sunita raised lalkara that all their enemies are present in the house and they should not be escaped. Bhupinder caught hold of Navin and Narinder fired a shot, which hit on the back of Navin while Raj Rani, Jyoti, Sanjay, Sunita and Rashmi caused injuries to Rajinder, Reshma and Santosh. Parveen ran away from the spot but he was chased by Virender alias Dhillu and Brahmanand. Complainant alongwith his son Anil ran after them. Parveen entered into the house of Ashok Lambardar and, however, Brahmanand caught hold of him and Virender alias Dillu fired two shots on him. However, when both injured Navin and Parvin were being removed to hospital, they succumbed to injuries on the way. Reshma and Santosh were also injured and they were referred to PGIMS, Rohtak. It has been contended by learned counsel for the petitioner that fatal injuries have not been attributed to her and that she has been continuing in custody since 16.10.2008 and that no witness has been examined so far. Bail application has been vehemently opposed by learned State counsel on the plea that applicant-petitioner was member of an unlawful assembly and that she alongwith co-accused actively participated in the occurrence and caused injuries resulting murder of two persons and injuries Crl.M.No.M-18327 of 2009 (O&M) -3- to three other persons. I have considered all the facts of the case. Allegations against the petitioner-accused are serious in nature. Hence, she is not entitled for bail. Hence, in view of these facts and without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, the present petition filed by petitioner-Raj Rani for grant of regular bail is dismissed being devoid of any merit. However, as the petitioner is continuing in custody since 16.10.2008, learned trial court is directed to expedite the trial and record evidence of prosecution witnesses on day-to-day basis. Learned trial court is further directed to make efforts to decide the matter within six months of the next date of hearing, i.e., 3.5.2010. Registry is directed to send copy of this order to trial Court for compliance. 21.4.2010 (Ram Chand Gupta) meenu Judge
