CRM No. M-17070 of 2009 1 IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATES OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. CRM No. M-17070 of 2009 (O&M) Date of decision: 29.7.2009 Sunil Gupta ...Petitioner Versus State of Haryana ...Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJAN GUPTA Present: Mr. Kunal Dawar, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr. Tarun Aggarwal, Senior DAG, Haryana. Rajan Gupta, J. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is in custody since 13th May, 2009 and the case is under Sections 135/151 of Indian Electricity Act. The allegation against the petitioner is of causing loss to Dakshin Haryana Bijli Vitran Nigam Limited. Learned counsel for the State has opposed the bail on the ground that the allegations against the petitioner are serious in nature. Keeping in view the facts and circumstances of the case and the fact that the petitioner is in custody for more than two and half month, no useful purpose will be served by detaining the petitioner in custody during the pendency of the trial as the trial may take long time to conclude. So, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the CRM No. M-17070 of 2009 2 case, this petition is allowed and the petitioner Sunil Gupta is directed to be released on bail to the satisfaction of Chief Judicial Magistrate/Duty Magistrate, Faridabad.
