The present petition has been filed by the petitioner under Section 439 Cr.P.C. for grant of bail in case FIR No.337/2017, for the offences punishable under Sections392/395/397/412/34 IPC, registered at PS Mahendra Park, Delhi.

Notice issued.

Learned APP for the State accepts notice.

6.

With the consent of the counsel for the parties, the present petition has been taken up for final disposal.

7.

Learned APP has opposed the present petition by stating that the petitioner BAIL APPLN. 2508/2020

is a habitual offender and recovery of knife and an amount of Rs.1,20,000/- has been affected from the petitioner. The petitioner used the knife and was leading the team. Therefore, the present petition deserves to be dismissed. 8.

It is not in dispute that there are seven accused in the present case and four of them have already been released on bail. Recovery of money has also been affected from them. The petitioner is involved in three other cases, However, he is on bail in the said cases and he has been granted interim bail number of times and has not violated the terms and conditions of the bail. 9.

Keeping in view the aforesaid facts, the fact that the petitioner is in judicial custody since 21.09.2017 and the fact that the trial shall take substantial time, I am of the view that the petitioner deserves bail. 10.

Accordingly, he shall be released on bail on his furnishing a personal bond in the sum of Rs.25,000/- and with one surety in the like amount to the satisfaction of the Trial Court.

11.

The petition is, accordingly, allowed and disposed of. 12.

Copy of this order be transmitted to the Jail Superintendent concerned and Trial Court for necessary compliance.
