No. M-10505 of 2011 (O&M) Date of decision : 24.5.2011 Ravinder son of Ram Avtar ...Petitioner Versus State of Haryana ...Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJAN GUPTA Present: Mr. Ajay Vijaraniya Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Vikas Malik, Assistant Advocate General, Haryana. Rajan Gupta, J. This is a petition under Section 439 Cr.P.C. seeking regular bail in a case registered against the petitioner under Sections 363 & 366 IPC at Police Station City Bhiwani, vide FIR No.678 dated 12.11.2010. It appears that at some stage, the prosecutrix had made a statement before the Magistrate that she did not want to accompany her parents and thus was lodged in the Nari Niketan. The petitioner is stated to be in custody since 30th November, 2010. Learned State counsel has opposed the prayer for bail on the ground that the allegations against the petitioner are serious in nature. He, however, submits that investigation has been completed and trial is in progress. Heard. Keeping in view the facts and circumstances of the case and the period of incarceration of the petitioner as also the fact that trial may Crl. Misc. No. M-10505 of 2011 2 take some time to conclude, I am of the considered view that no useful purpose will be served by detaining the petitioner in custody any longer. Thus, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, this petition is allowed and the petitioner is directed to be released on bail to the satisfaction of Chief Judicial Magistrate/ Duty Magistrate, Bhiwani.
