IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Crl. Misc No. M-12369 of 2009 (O&M) Date of decision : 28.05.2009 Kumar Gaurav ....Petitioner V/s State of Haryana ....Respondent. BEFORE : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJAN GUPTA Present: Mr. N.K. Sanghi, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Tarun Aggarwal, Sr. DAG Haryana. RAJAN GUPTA J. (ORAL) Petitioner, Kumar Gaurav has filed this petition under Section 439 Cr.P.C. for the grant of regular bail in a case registered against him at police station City Sirsa, under Sections 420, 406, 467, 468, 471 and 120-B IPC vide FIR No. 851 dated 25.12.2005. Learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that the petitioner never intentionally evaded the law. According to the counsel, petitioner was never served through summons or warrants pursuant to FIR registered against him. Counsel further submits that petitioner is a student and is at present doing some computer course from an institute at Chandigarh. Learned counsel for the State has, however, opposed the grant of bail to the petitioner on the ground that petitioner remained a proclaimed offender and was arrested only on 30.03.2009. However, keeping in view the fact that the case is triable by the Magistrate and the fact that trial will take some time to conclude, no useful Crl. Misc No. M-12369 of 2009 (O&M) -2- purpose would be served by detaining the petitioner any longer. Without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, 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, Sirsa. 28.05.2009 (RAJAN GUPTA) Ajay JUDGE
