The petitioner is in custody since 26.4.2010. The account of the petitioner has been seized during investigation. The agricultural land belonging to the petitioner has also been seized during investigation. Learned State counsel, on the other hand, has opposed this petition. Keeping in view the fact that the petitioner is in custody since 26.4.2010 and the co-accused have since been released on bail and also the fact that the account of the petitioner as well as his agricultural land have been seized during investigation, it would be just and expedient to release the petitioner on bail. The fact that whether the petitioner is guilty of the alleged offence or not would more appropriately be gone into and considered during trial. Accordingly, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, this petition is allowed. The petitioner is ordered to be admitted to bail subject to the satisfaction of Chief Judicial Magistrate/ Duty Magistrate Gurgaon. (SABINA) JUDGE September 24, 2010 anita
