IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Crl. Misc No. M-11878 of 2009 Date of decision : 15.07.2009 Balbir Kaur and another ....Petitioners V/s State of Haryana ....Respondent BEFORE : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJAN GUPTA Present: Mr. Vikram Singh, Advocate for the petitioners. Mr. Tarun Aggarwal, Sr. DAG Haryana. RAJAN GUPTA J. (ORAL) This is a petition for regular bail to the petitioners in FIR No. 436 dated 11.12.2008 registered against them under Sections 419, 420, 465, 468, 471, 120-B/109 IPC at police station Shahabad, District Kurukshetra. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that petitioners who are ladies are in custody since 13.03.2009. According to the counsel, investigation of the case has been completed and challan has already been presented before the competent court of jurisdiction. Counsel further submits that trial is likely to take quite some time to conclude, thus no useful purpose would be served by detaining the petitioners 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 petitioners on the ground that allegations against the petitioners are serious in nature. However, keeping in view the period of detention already suffered by them and the fact that trial may take some time to conclude, I Crl. Misc No. M-11878 of 2009 -2- deem it appropriate to grant regular bail to the petitioners. Accordingly, the petition is allowed and they are ordered to be enlarged on bail to the satisfaction of Chief Judicial Magistrate, Kurukshetra. 15.07.2009 (RAJAN GUPTA) Ajay JUDGE
