Learned counsel for the petitioner contends that petitioner is in custody since 18.2.2011 and case is triable by Magistrate. He submits that investigation qua petitioner has been completed and challan presented before the court of competent jurisdiction, thus, no useful purpose would be served by detaining the petitioner any longer. Learned State counsel has opposed the prayer for bail on the ground that allegations against the petitioner are serious. He, however, does not dispute the fact that Crl.Misc.No.M-12404 of 2011 - 2 - investigation qua the petitioner has been completed and challan presented. In view of the aforesaid contentions particularly the fact that investigation of the case has been completed qua the present petitioner and trial is in progress, I am of the view that no useful purpose would be served by detaining the petitioner during the pendency of trial. Without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, I deem it appropriate to grant regular bail to the petitioner.
