Criminal Misc. No. M-8634 of 2011 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Criminal Misc. No. M-8634 of 2011 Date of decision : 04.05.2011 Sumant ....Petitioner V/s State of Haryana ....Respondent BEFORE : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJAN GUPTA Present: Mr. R.S. Sihota, Sr. Advocate with Mr. Sushant, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Vikas Malik, AAG 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 petitioner vide FIR No. 16 dated 12.01.2011 under Sections 489B/420/34 IPC at Police Station Tauru, District Mewat. Learned counsel for the petitioner contends that petitioner is in custody since 12.01.2011. According to him, allegation against the petitioner is that he was in possession of 46 fake currency notes of denomination of `10 each. He submits that investigation of the case is complete, thus, no useful purpose would be served by detaining the petitioner in custody during the pendency of trial. Learned State counsel has opposed the prayer for bail on the ground that allegations against the petitioner are serious. He, however, does Criminal Misc. No. M-8634 of 2011 2 not dispute the fact that investigation has been completed qua the petitioner and challan presented before the competent court of jurisdiction. Keeping in view the aforesaid contentions, period of incarceration of the petitioner and the fact that investigation qua the petitioner is complete, 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. Accordingly, the petition is allowed and petitioner is ordered to be enlarged on bail to the satisfaction of Chief Judicial Magistrate/Duty Magistrate, Nuh. May 04, 2011 (RAJAN GUPTA) Ajay JUDGE
