CRM-M-112-2015 procured 100 bags of Urea for his fields; the provisions of Section 13 of the Prevention of Corruption Act as well as Section 409, IPC, are not attracted qua the petitioner; the petitioner is behind the bars from 12.12.2014; and that qua the petitioner investigation is complete and he is languishing in the jail.

Learned counsel for the State very fairly concedes that the petitioner is a farmer and he is neither required nor involved in any other case.

After hearing learned counsel for the parties and going through the material available on record, this Court is of the considered opinion that the petitioner deserves the concession of bail in this case at this juncture and, as such, the present petition is allowed. The petitioner, Inderjeet, son of Harmail Singh, resident of Village Ghaswan, Tehsil Ratia, District Fatehabad, is ordered to be released on bail during pendency of the investigation and trial of the present case subject to his furnishing bail bond to the satisfaction of the learned Chief Judicial Magistrate/Duty Magistrate, Fatehabad.
