Sammi, 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. 339 dated 06.08.2010 under Sections 302, 201 & 34 IPC at Police Station City Jagadhari, District Yamuna Nagar. Learned counsel for the petitioner contends that petitioner is in custody since 10.08.2010 and material prosecution witnesses have already been examined. He submits that in the FIR only allegations against the petitioner is that she slapped the deceased. Learned State counsel has opposed the prayer for bail on the ground that allegations against the petitioner are serious. He, however, does not dispute the fact that some prosecution evidence have already come before the court and rest is likely to be led during the course of trial. Heard. Criminal Misc. No. M-4879 of 2011 -2- Keeping in view the period of incarceration of the petitioner and the fact that material prosecution witnesses have already been examined and trial may still take some time to conclude, I am of the 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, Yamuna Nagar at Jagadhri.
