Versus

State of Haryana ....Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAMENDRA JAIN Present:- Mr. R.N. Lohan, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr. Chetan Sharma, AAG, Haryana.

RAMENDRA JAIN, J. (ORAL) Through instant second petition under Section 439 Cr.P.C. prayer has been made for grant of regular bail to petitioner - Krishan in a case arising from FIR No.107 dated 28.04.2017 registered under Sections 307, 120-B, 34 IPC, Section 25 of the Arms Act and Section 3(2)(V) of the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989 at Police Station Julana, District Jind. Learned counsel for the petitioner inter alia contends that petitioner is in custody since 13.05.2017. Conclusion of trial may take a sufficient long time. No useful purpose would be served by detaining the petitioner in jail any more.

Learned State counsel has fairly conceded that material prosecution witnesses have turned hostile.
