IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATES OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Crl.M.No.23598-M of 2010 Date of Order: 5.10.2010 Ravinder @ Nasib Singh .....Petitioner Vs. State of Haryana .....Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE JASWANT SINGH Present: Mr. Deepak Aggarwal, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. M.S. Sindhu, Addl.A.G, Haryana. JASWANT SINGH, J (ORAL) Prayer under Section 439 Cr.P.C is for grant of regular bail in case FIR No.93 dated 27.2.2010 under Sections 363/366/376/506/120-B IPC, P.S Samalkha, District Panipat. As per allegations, the petitioner accompanied his co-accused Anil, who on account of his love affair had eloped with the prosecutrix and thereafter committed rape upon her. Learned counsel submits that the prosecutrix in her examination in chief has not supported the case of the prosecution and that the petitioner is in custody since 4.3.2010. Learned state counsel, on instructions from ASI Rajinder Singh, concedes that the prosecutrix has turned hostile. Without expressing any opinion on the merit of the case and in view of the above developments, I find that no useful purpose would be served to keep the petitioner in custody any longer. Accordingly, petition is allowed and the petitioner is ordered to be released on bail to the satisfaction of ld. Chief Judicial Magistrate, Panipat. October 05, 2010 ( JASWANT SINGH ) manoj JUDGE
