(ORAL) This is a petition for regular bail in case FIR No. 233 dated 19.07.2008, registered against the petitioner under Sections 148, 149, 323, 427, 452, 307, 506 IPC at police station Sector 10, Distt. Gurgaon. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is alleged to have been armed with a country made pistol (Katta). He is alleged to have fired also but no one was injured in the occurrence. According to the counsel, no fire arm injury was received by anyone. The petitioner is stated to be in custody since 13.11.2008. Counsel, thus prays no useful purpose would be served by detaining the petitioner in custody during the pendency of the trial. Learned counsel for the State, on the other hand, has opposed the grant of bail to the petitioner on the ground that allegations against the petitioner are serious in nature. However, taking into consideration the period of incarceration already suffered by him and trial is likely to take some time to conclude, no Crl. Misc No. M-10388 of 2009 -2- useful purpose would be served by detaining the petitioner in custody during the pendency of the trial. Without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, I deem it appropriate to grant regular bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, the petition is allowed and he is ordered to be enlarged on bail to the satisfaction of Chief Judicial Magistrate, Gurgaon. 24.07.2009 (RAJAN GUPTA) Ajay JUDGE
