MITTAL, J. (Oral) : Accused Aditya Kumar has filed this petition for regular bail in case FIR No.300 dated 27.09.2011, under Sections 420, 467, 468, 471 of the Indian Penal Code, registered at Police Station Shivaji Colony, District Rohtak. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the case file. According to the prosecution version, the petitioner along with a woman co-accused, was administering fake polio drops to persons by Crl. Misc. No. M-32868 of 2011 2 charging Rs.20/- per head. The petitioner was apprehended, whereas the woman co-accused fled away. Learned counsel for the petitioner contended that the petitioner had been engaged on daily wages by the woman co- accused running an NGO and the petitioner was not even aware that the medicine being administered was fake polio drops. Learned State counsel, on instructions from ASI Mahender Singh, stated that the address of the woman co-accused of the petitioner has been found to be fake and she has not been traced. It was also stated that fake polio drops were administered to 70-80 persons by charging Rs.20/- each. It was also stated that the petitioner is in custody since 27.09.2011 i.e. for two months. The case is triable by Magistrate. Investigation and trial is likely to take time. Keeping in view all the circumstances, I am of the considered opinion that the petitioner should be released on bail. Accordingly, the instant bail petition is allowed. Bail to the satisfaction of learned Chief Judicial Magistrate/ Duty Magistrate, Rohtak. November 29, 2011 ( L. N. MITTAL ) monika JUDGE
