JUSTICE RAJAN GUPTA Present: Ms.Baljit Mann, Advocate for the petitioner. Ms.R.K.Nihalsinghwala, Senior DAG, Punjab Mr.H.S.Brar, Advocate for the complainant. RAJAN GUPTA, J. (ORAL) This is a petition under Section 439 CrPC seeking regular bail in a case registered against the petitioner under Section 306 IPC at Police Station Sadar, Jalalabad, District Ferozepur vide FIR No.95 dated 28.5.2010. Learned counsel for the petitioner has argued that the petitioner is in custody since 15.11.2010. Investigation of the case has been completed and trial is already in progress. She submits that the only allegation against the petitioner is that she used to quarrel with the deceased which led him to commit suicide. Learned State counsel has opposed the prayer for bail on the ground that the allegations against the petitioner are serious in nature. She, however, does not dispute the fact that the charge has been framed in the case and the trial is already in progress. Heard. Keeping in view the facts and circumstances of the case and the period of incarceration of the petitioner, I am of the considered view that no useful purpose will be served by detaining the petitioner in custody Crl.Misc. No.M-2302 of 2011 -2- any longer. The trial may take long time to conclude. Thus, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, this petition is allowed and the petitioner is directed to be released on bail to the satisfaction of Chief Judicial Magistrate/Duty Magistrate, Ferozepur.
