Criminal Misc. No. M-5719 of 2011 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Criminal Misc. No. M-5719 of 2011 Date of decision : 04.04.2011 Rekha ....Petitioner V/s State of Haryana ....Respondent BEFORE : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJAN GUPTA Present: Mr. Vikram Singh, Advocate for the petitioner. 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. 51 dated 29.08.2010 under Sections 306/34 IPC at Police Station GRP Karnal. Learned counsel for the petitioner contends that from the allegations levelled in the FIR case for abetment of suicide is not made out. He submits that petitioner is the wife of deceased and is in custody since October 04, 2010. According to him, material prosecution witnesses have already been examined. He thus submits that petitioner is entitled to be enlarged on bail. Learned State counsel has opposed the prayer for bail on the ground that allegations against the petitioner are serious. He, however, does not dispute the fact that two prosecution witnesses i.e. complainant and Doctor have already been examined and trial is in progress. Criminal Misc. No. M-5719 of 2011 2 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, Karnal. April 04, 2011 (RAJAN GUPTA) Ajay JUDGE
