CRM No. M-23616 of 2009 1 IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATES OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. CRM No. M-23616 of 2009 (O&M) Date of decision: 07.10.2009 Sukhwinder Singh @ Mithu ...Petitioners Versus State of Haryana ...Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJAN GUPTA Present: Mr. H.S. Sullar, Advocate, for the petitioners. Mr. Gaurav Dhir, AAG, Haryana. Mr. Deepak Sharma, Advocate, for the complainant. 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 377, 511 and 506 IPC at Police Station Ambala City, vide FIR No.161 dated 25th May, 2009. Learned counsel for the petitioner has argued that the petitioner is 19 years of age and allegation against him is of attempt to commit sodomy on son of the complainant. According to the counsel, the investigation of the case has already been completed and challan has been presented in the competent court. Thus, no useful purpose will be served by detaining the petitioner in custody during pendency of the trial. Learned counsel for the State has opposed the bail on the CRM No. M-23616 of 2009 2 ground that the allegations against the petitioner are serious in nature. According to the learned State counsel, the petitioner committed the act of sodomy on two occasions. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and given careful thought to the facts of the case. I am of the considered view that since challan has already been presented before the trial court and trial is likely to take long time to conclude, no useful purpose will be served by detaining the petitioner in custody during the pendency of the trial. The petitioner, thus, deserves to be enlarged on bail. Bail to the satisfaction of Chief Judicial Magistrate/Duty Magistrate, Ambala. (RAJAN GUPTA) JUDGE October 07, 2009 'rajpal'
