JUSTICE RAJAN GUPTA Present: Mr.Kunal Dawar, Advocate for the petitioner Mr.Vikas Malik, AAG, Haryana .. RAJAN GUPTA, J.: (Oral) This is a petition under section 439 Cr.P.C. seeking regular bail in a case registered against the petitioner under sections 148/149/323/506/356/427/34 IPC and section 3 of the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989 vide FIR No.22 dated 23.2.2008 at police station Ballabgarh Sadar, District Faridabad. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that petitioner surrendered on 10.9.2010 after he was declared a proclaimed offender and he is in custody since then. He further submits that case is triable by Magistrate and trial is in progress. 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 trial is in progress and submits that in case the petitioner is to be released on bail, it should be subject to heavy surety. Crl.Misc.No.M-3634 of 2011 - 2 - In view of the fact that petitioner has been in custody since 27.8.2010 and trial may take some time to conclude, I am of the considered view that no useful purpose would be served by detaining the petitioner during the pendency of trial. However, keeping in view the fact and circumstances of the case, the petitioner shall be enlarged on bail to the satisfaction of trial court subject to his furnishing heavy surety and/or any other condition (s) imposed by the trial court.
