Crl. Misc No. M-14102 of 2009 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Crl. Misc No. M-14102 of 2009 Date of decision : 08.09.2009 Mahender Singh ....Petitioner V/s State of Haryana ....Respondent BEFORE : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJAN GUPTA Present: Mr. Jitender Dhanda, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Tarun Aggarwal, Sr. DAG Haryana. RAJAN GUPTA J. (ORAL) This is a petition for grant of regular bail in a case registered against the petitioner under Sections 418/420 IPC at Police Station City Narwana, District Jind vide FIR No. 30 dated 28.01.2009. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that petitioner has been in custody for the last eight months and trial of the case is pending before the JMIC, Narwana. According to the counsel, trial may take some time to conclude and to incarcerate the petitioner indefinitely would not advance the course of justice in any manner. Learned counsel for the State, on the other hand, submits that allegations against the petitioner are serious in nature. He thus, does not deserve to be enlarged on bail. However, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case and taking into consideration the period of detention already suffered Crl. Misc No. M-14102 of 2009 2 by him, 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 S.D.J.M, Narwana. 08.09.2009 (RAJAN GUPTA) Ajay JUDGE
