The learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that the petitioner has falsely been implicated in the present case on the basis of alleged disclosure statement of co-accused Parvinder. It has further been submitted that, in any case, since the investigation is complete and the petitioner has been behind bars since the last about 5 months, he is no longer required to be detained. 4.

Opposing the petition, the learned State counsel has submitted that since the co-accused has specifically nominated the petitioner, to have committed the offence in question, and that since the petitioner is involved in four other cases, no case for grant of bail is made out. 5.

I have considered rival submissions addressed before this Court. 6.

Keeping in view the facts and circumstances of the case and that it is a case involving an amount of `5 lakhs, wherein the petitioner has been behind bars since the last about 5 months, his further detention will not serve any useful purpose as conclusion of trial is likely to take some time. 7.

The petition, as such, is accepted and the petitioner is ordered to be released on bail on his furnishing bail bonds/surety bonds to the satisfaction of learned trial Court/Chief Judicial Magistrate/Duty Magistrate concerned. 25.2.2020 ( Gurvinder Singh Gill ) pankaj Judge Whether speaking /reasoned Yes / No Whether Reportable Yes / No PANKAJ KAKKAR 2020.02.25 18:10 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document
