IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Crl.Misc.No.M-3232 of 2011 DATE OF DECISION: April 28, 2011 Jagdish alias Maan Singh …..Petitioner versus State of Haryana .....Respondent CORAM:- HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJAN GUPTA Present: Mr.Sandeep Kotla, Advocate for the petitioner Mr.Vikas Malik, AAG, Haryana .. RAJAN GUPTA, J.: (Oral) This is a petition under section 439 Cr.P.C. seeking regular bail in a case registered against the petitioner under sections 420/406/408 IPC vide FIR No.201 dated 9.12.2010 at police station Bhattu Kalan. Learned counsel for the petitioner contends that petitioner is in custody since 12.12.2010, investigation of the case has been completed and charge framed under section 406 IPC. 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 investigation has been completed and charge framed. Keeping in view the 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 Crl.Misc.No.M-3232 of 2011 - 2 - purpose would be served by detaining the petitioner 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 petitioner. Bail to the satisfaction of Chief Judicial Magistrate/Duty Magistrate, Fatehabad. Disposed of. April 28, 2011 ( RAJAN GUPTA ) pc JUDGE 2
