JUSTICE RAJAN GUPTA Present: Mr. Rajesh Lamba, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Vikas Malik, AAG Haryana. RAJAN GUPTA J. (ORAL) This is a petition filed under Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure seeking regular bail in a case registered against the petitioner vide FIR No. 199 dated 06.06.2010 under Sections 148, 149, 302, 323 & 506 IPC at Police Station Hathin, District Palwal. Learned counsel for the petitioner contends that petitioner is in custody since 21.09.2010. According to him, in the FIR no role has been attributed to the petitioner and only allegation is that he was present at the time of occurrence. Learned State counsel has opposed the prayer for bail on the ground that allegations against the petitioner are serious. Heard. Keeping in view the fact that petitioner is in custody for more than 6 months now and trial of the case is still at its initial stage, I am of the Criminal Misc. No. M-7265 of 2011 2 considered view that no useful purpose would be served by detaining the petitioner in custody 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 petitioner is ordered to be enlarged on bail to the satisfaction of Chief Judicial Magistrate/Duty Magistrate, Palwal. May 04, 2011 (RAJAN GUPTA) Ajay JUDGE
