This order will dispose of the above two petitions filed by Vicky son of Suresh and Virender son of Tara Chand respectively as they arise out of the same FIR No.726 dated 5.10.2009 registered at Police Station City, Rohtak for the offences under Sections 398 and 401 IPC. Cr. Misc. Nos.M-32846/2009 etc. [2] The FIR in the case has been registered on the basis of a writing sent by ASI Om Parkash, Police Post Indira Colony, Rohtak on 5.10.2009 at 8.30 p.m. ASI Om Parkash was present at IDC Chowk, Hisar Road, Rohtak along with HC Ram Niwas and EHC Devinder. A secret information was received that Virender son of Tara Chand and Vicky son of Suresh respective petitioners were standing near Peer Nandal Farm, Garhi Kheri Road and were planning to rob passersby. If a raid was conducted they could be apprehended red handed. The information was found reliable and ASI Om Parkash along with the Police officials reached Garhi Kheri Road on a private motorcycle. Suddenly three young boys came and asked them for handing over whatever belongings they had. All of a sudden they started to run away. The ASI tried to apprehend them and with the accompanying Police officials two of them were apprehended and one of them was successful in running away. Despite a chase he could not be caught hold of. The boys who were apprehended disclosed their names as Virender son of Tara Chand and Vicky son of Suresh-the respective petitioners in the two petitions. Virender had a sledger while Vicky had an iron rod. They were taken in Police custody in pursuance of recovery memo. The petitioners are in custody since 5.10.2009 when they were apprehended by the Police party. No prosecution witness has been examined till date. The charge in the case was framed on 17.2.2010 and the case stands adjourned to 21.4.2010 for evidence of the prosecution witnesses. The trial in the case is likely to take time. The case against the respective petitioners is to be established by leading evidence. The custody of the petitioners is not required for the purpose of investigation. The Cr. Misc. Nos.M-32846/2009 etc. [3] witnesses in the case are Police officials and it is unlikely that the petitioners would be able to influence them. In the facts and circumstances, it would be just and expedient if the petitioners are granted the concession of bail. The criminal miscellaneous petitions are accordingly allowed and the petitioners in the respective petitions on their furnishing personal bonds and surety each to the satisfaction of learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Rohtak shall be admitted to bail. March 25, 2010. (S.S. Saron) Judge *hsp*
