Criminal Misc. No. M-13314 of 2011 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Criminal Misc. No. M-13314 of 2011 Date of decision : 19.05.2011 Rajan @ Harjinder Pal ....Petitioner V/s State of Haryana ....Respondent BEFORE : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJAN GUPTA Present: Mr. N.K. Sanghi, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Vikas Malik, AAG Haryana. RAJAN GUPTA J. (ORAL) This is a petition filed under Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure seeking regular bail in a case registered against the petitioner vide FIR No. 280 dated 22.11.2010 under Sections 148, 149, 302, 323, 325 & 427 IPC at Police Station Sadar Sirsa, District Sirsa. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that in the alleged occurrence no specific injury is attributed to the petitioner. He contends that there is nothing to show that deceased died as a result of any injury caused by the petitioner. According to him, while one hammer blow is attributed to Surinder and one lathi blow is attributed to Babbi. He submits that injuries reflected in the PMR are two injuries corresponding to said blows. According to him, trial may still take long time to conclude, thus, no useful purpose would be served by detaining the petitioner in custody during its pendency. Learned State counsel has opposed the prayer for bail on the ground that allegations against the petitioner are serious. He, however, on Criminal Misc. No. M-13314 of 2011 2 instructions from ASI Satpal Singh, who is present in court submits that investigation has been completed and trial is in progress. Heard. Keeping in view the aforesaid contentions, period of incarceration of the petitioner and the fact that trial may still take some time to conclude, I am of the considered view that no useful purpose would be served by detaining the petitioner in custody any longer. Without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, I deem it appropriate to grant regular bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, the petition is allowed and petitioner is ordered to be enlarged on bail to the satisfaction of Chief Judicial Magistrate/Duty Magistrate, Sirsa. May 19, 2011 (RAJAN GUPTA) Ajay JUDGE
