IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Crl. Misc No. M-33723 of 2008 Date of decision : 27.03.2009 Hari ....Petitioner V/s State of Haryana ....Respondent. BEFORE : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJAN GUPTA Present: Mr. R.S. Randhawa, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. K.C. Gupta, AAG Haryana. Mr. J.S. Hooda, Advocate for the complainant. RAJAN GUPTA J. (ORAL) Prayer in this petition is for the grant of regular bail to the petitioner in case FIR No. 146 dated 3.10.2008 registered under Sections 148/149/323/324/452/506 IPC at police station Hassanpur. Counsel for the petitioner submits that petitioner has been attributed simple injury on the elbow of the sister of the complainant. Counsel further submits that petitioner has been in custody for the last 5 months and trial is likely to take quite some time to conclude. He, thus, prays that petitioner be enlarged on bail pending trial. Learned counsel for the State has opposed the bail application and submits that though the injury attributed is simple in nature but allegations against the petitioner are serious in nature. Keeping in view the fact that petitioner is in custody for the last 5 months and trial is likely to take some time to conclude, I am of the considered view that petitioner is entitled to be enlarged on bail pending Crl. Misc No. M-33723 of 2008 -2- trial. No useful purpose would be served by keeping the petitioner in custody during the pendency of the trial. Bail to the satisfaction of Chief Judicial Magistrate, Palwal. 27.03.2009 (RAJAN GUPTA) Ajay JUDGE
