Crl. Misc. No. M-17369 of 2011 1 IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATES OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. Crl. Misc. No. M-17369 of 2011 (O&M) Date of decision: 10.8.2011 Smt. Triveni ...Petitioner Versus State of Haryana ...Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJAN GUPTA Present: Mr. S.K. Yadav, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Siddharath Sarup, Dy. Advocate General, 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 147, 148, 323, 342 & 302 IPC at Police Station Nangal Chaudhary, District Mohindergarh, vide FIR No.189 dated 13th October, 2010. Learned counsel for the petitioner contends that petitioner has been in custody since 29th December, 2010 and the case is at the stage of recording prosecution evidence. He submits that the petitioner, who is a household lady having three children, is not likely to tamper with evidence or influence the witnesses. Learned State counsel has opposed the prayer for bail on the ground that the allegations against the petitioner are serious in nature. He, however, does not dispute the fact that seven prosecution witnesses have already been examined in the case and all other accused are in custody. Crl. Misc. No. M-17369 of 2011 2 Heard. Keeping in view the aforesaid contentions and the fact that petitioner has been in custody since December, 2010 and that she is a woman having three children to look after, I am of the considered view that no useful purpose will be served by detaining the petitioner in custody any longer. The trial may take long time to conclude. Thus, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, this petition is allowed and the petitioner is directed to be released on bail to the satisfaction of Chief Judicial Magistrate/ Duty Magistrate, Narnaul.
