IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Crl. Misc No. M-14673 of 2009 Date of decision : 10.07.2009 Ashok Kumar and another ....Petitioners V/s State of Haryana ....Respondent BEFORE : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJAN GUPTA Present: Ms. Meenakshi Dogra, Advocate for the petitioners. Mr. Tarun Aggarwal, Sr. DAG Haryana. RAJAN GUPTA J. (ORAL) This is a petition for grant of regular bail to the petitioners in a case registered against the petitioners under Sections 323, 324, 506/34 IPC at police station Tauru, Nah (Mewat) vide FIR No. 155 of 2005. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the petitioners are in custody since 23.01.2009 and the trial is at the stage of recording the evidence. According to the counsel, the petitioners shall not try to abscond during the pendency of the trial. Learned counsel for the State submits that heavy surety be imposed on the petitioners in order to ensure that they do not default in appearance on any date in future before the trial court. Keeping in view that fact that petitioners have already undergone incarceration for almost six months and the case is triable by the Magistrate, no useful purpose would be served by detaining the petitioners in custody during the pendency of the trial. Without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, I deem it appropriate to grant regular bail to the Crl. Misc No. M-14673 of 2009 -2- petitioners. Accordingly, the petition is allowed and they are ordered to be enlarged on bail to the satisfaction of Chief Judicial Magistrate, Mewat. This, however, will be subject to heavy surety as deemed fit by the Court below. 10.07.2009 (RAJAN GUPTA) Ajay JUDGE
