Criminal Misc. No. M-18504 of 2010 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Criminal Misc. No. M-18504 of 2010 Date of decision : 29.07.2010 Mohammad Ikram ....Petitioner V/s State of Haryana ....Respondent BEFORE : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJAN GUPTA Present: Mr. Sanjeev Manrai, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Gaurav Dhir, Deputy Advocate General, Haryana. Mr. Diwan S. Adlakha, Advocate for the complainant. 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. 68 dated 27.05.2010 under Sections 377 & 506 IPC at Police Station Radaur, District Yamunanagar. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that petitioner has been custody since 27.05.2010 and case is triable by the Magistrate. He further submits that investigation of the case has already been completed and challan has been presented before the competent court of jurisdiction, thus, no useful purpose would be served by detaining the petitioner in custody during the pendency of the trial. Prayer for bail has been opposed by learned State counsel on the ground that allegations against the petitioner are serious in nature. He, Criminal Misc. No. M-18504 of 2010 2 however, does not dispute the fact that investigation of the case has been completed and final report under Section 173 Cr.P.C. has already been submitted. Keeping in view the aforesaid contentions, the period of incarceration already undergone by the petitioner and the fact that trial of the case may still take long time to conclude, I am of the considered view that no useful purpose would be served by detaining the petitioner 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 petitioner. Accordingly, the petition is allowed and petitioner is ordered to be enlarged on bail to the satisfaction of Chief Judicial Magistrate/Duty Magistrate, Yamunanagar.
