Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that petitioner has been in custody since 27.5.2010 and material witnesses have already been examined. He submits that no useful purpose would be served by detaining the petitioner in custody any longer. 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 only formal witnesses remain to be examined. Crl.Misc.No.M-3355 of 2011 -2- Keeping in view the aforesaid contentions, period of incarceration of petitioner and the fact that trial may still take some time to conclude, I am of the considered view that no useful purpose would be served by detaining the petitioner in custody any longer. Without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, I deem it appropriate to grant regular bail to the petitioner. Bail to the satisfaction of Chief Judicial Magistrate/Duty Magistrate, Ambala.
