The petitioner seeks regular bail in connection with Daraunda P.S. Case No. 94 of 2021, registered for the offence punishable under Section 409 of the Indian Penal Code.

The allegation is regarding the petitioner, who is a PDS dealer since past 30 years, having lifted the food articles against quota of Kismati Devi, who is not traceable since a period of two years, resulting in misappropriation of the food articles of the quota of the said missing lady.

The learned Senior Counsel for the petitioner has further submitted that the petitioner has got no complicity in the matter and it was the department, which was allotting the quota of the said traceless lady, however, the petitioner was not knowing that the said lady is traceless.

Per contra, the learned APP for the State has vehemently opposed the prayer for bail.

Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, considering the submissions made by the learned Senior Counsel for the petitioner and taking into account the materials on record as also considering the period of incarceration of the petitioner, I deem it fit and proper to direct for release of the petitioner on regular bail.
