Per contra, while opposing the prayer for grant of regular bail to the petitioner, learned State counsel does not dispute the custody period of the petitioner. He, however, submits that though the petitioner has not been named in the FIR, yet the fact remains that he had actively participated in the occurrence in snatching Rs.10,000/- from the Dhaba. He further submits that the petitioner is a habitual offender, inasmuch as, three more FIRs have been registered and/or pending against him, out of which, in two cases, he stands acquitted and in one convicted. I have heard the learned counsel for the parties. The petitioner has been in custody since 05.09.2021. PW-5 and PW-7 have not supported the prosecution version and turned hostile. In other cases, the petitioner either stands convicted or acquitted. Some of the prosecution witnesses are yet to be examined. In such circumstances, the trial of the case would take a long time to conclude. Therefore, no useful purpose would be served by keeping the petitioner behind the bars.
In view of the above and without commenting anything on the merits of the case, lest it should prejudice the case of either side, the present petition is allowed and the petitioner is ordered to be released on bail on his furnishing bail/surety bonds to the satisfaction of the learned trial Court/Duty Magistrate/Chief Judicial Magistrate concerned.
