Versus

State of Haryana .... Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAMENDRA JAIN Present: - Ms. Suman Sagar, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Pawan Garg, AAG, Haryana.

RAMENDRA JAIN, J. (ORAL) Petitioner-Saurabh @ Sunny, is facing trial in case FIR No. 109 dated 07.09.2018 registered under Section 302 IPC at Police Station GRP Hisar, District Hisar, on the allegations that in the intervening night of 06/07.09.2018, he committed murder of husband of complainant, namely; Raju Ram.

Learned counsel inter alia contends that prosecution case against the petitioner is based on circumstantial and last seen evidence, which is a very weak type of evidence. Even the material witness i.e. complainant and last seen witness have turned hostile. Petitioner is in custody since 10.09.2018. Conclusion of trial may take a long time. No useful purpose would be served by detaining him in jail. Nothing has to be recovered from him.
