Criminal Misc. No. M-12243 of 2011 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Criminal Misc. No. M-12243 of 2011 Date of decision : 24.05.2011 Naseem ....Petitioner V/s State of Haryana ....Respondent BEFORE : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJAN GUPTA Present: Mr. B.R. Vohra, 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. 324 dated 09.12.2010 under Sections 395, 201, 411 & 120-B IPC at Police Station Ferozepur Jhirka. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that only role attributed to the petitioner is that he was contacted for selling the dumper in question. He submits that petitioner is in custody since December, 2010, investigation of the case has been completed and challan presented before the competent court of jurisdiction. He submits that trial may take long time to conclude, thus, no useful purpose would be served by detaining the petitioner in custody during its pendency. 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-12243 of 2011 2 not dispute the fact that investigation qua the petitioner has been completed and challan presented before the competent court of jurisdiction. Keeping in view the period of incarceration of the petitioner and the fact that investigation has been completed, I am of the considered view that no useful purpose would be served by detaining the petitioner 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, Mewat at Nuh. This, however, will be subject to heavy surety and/or any other condition(s) which the trial court may deem fit to impose. May 24, 2011 (RAJAN GUPTA) Ajay JUDGE
