(ORAL) This is a petition for grant of regular bail in a case registered against the petitioner under Sections 387 and 506 IPC at police station City Thanesar, District Kurukshetra vide FIR No. 221 dated 20.04.2009. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner was arrested on 21.04.2009 and is in custody since then. According to the counsel, investigation of the case has already been completed and challan has been presented in the competent court of jurisdiction. The factual averment made by counsel for the petitioner is not disputed by learned State counsel. However, he has opposed the bail on the ground that allegations against the petitioner are serious in nature. Learned counsel has further prayed that in case petitioner be enlarged on bail, he should be subject to heavy surety and in case petitioner tries to influence the witnesses of the FIR No. 89 dated 09.03.2008 registered under Sections Crl. Misc No. M-14906 of 2009 -2- 364-A, 377 IPC Arms Act, he may be granted liberty to file a cancellation of the bail application. Without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case and keeping in view the period of incarceration already undergone by the petitioner, I deem it appropriate to grant regular bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, the petition is allowed and the petitioner is ordered to be released on bail to the satisfaction of Chief Judicial Magistrate, Kurukshetra. This, however will be subject to heavy surety and liberty to State counsel to seek a cancellation of the bail in case petitioner influences the witnesses of the FIR No. 89 dated 09.03.2008. 10.08.2009 (RAJAN GUPTA) Ajay JUDGE
