Criminal Misc. No. M-33197 of 2010 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Criminal Misc. No. M-33197 of 2010 Date of decision : 01.12.2010 Shree Bhagwan and another ....Petitioners V/s State of Haryana ....Respondent BEFORE : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJAN GUPTA Present: Mr. Rakesh Nehra, Advocate for the petitioners. Ms. Shalini Atri, DAG Haryana. RAJAN GUPTA J. (ORAL) This is a petition filed under Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure seeking regular bail in a case registered against the petitioners vide FIR No. 196 dated 10.06.2010 under Sections 420, 467, 468 & 471 IPC at Police Station City Bahadurgarh, District Jhajjar. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that petitioners are in custody since 12.08.2010 and case is triable by the Magistrate. He further submits that investigation of the case has already been completed and challan presented before the competent court of jurisdiction. Learned State counsel has opposed the prayer for bail on the ground that allegations against the petitioners are serious in nature. She, however, does not dispute the fact that investigation of the case has been completed and challan has been presented. I have heard learned counsel for the parties. Keeping in view the contentions aforesaid, period of incarceration of the petitioners and the fact that case is triable by the Criminal Misc. No. M-33197 of 2010 2 Magistrate, I am of the considered view that no useful purpose would be served by detaining the petitioners in custody during the pendency of trial. Without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, I deem it appropriate to grant regular bail to the petitioners. Accordingly, the petition is allowed and petitioners are ordered to be enlarged on bail to the satisfaction of Chief Judicial Magistrate/Duty Magistrate, Jhajjar.
