Cr. Misc. No.M-14286 of 2016 [2] learned Additional Advocate General, Haryana appearing for the respondent-State and have gone through the record. As per the prosecution version, the land of the complainant had been sold by impersonating by some persons and the present petitioner Suraj Pal was a Numberdar, who is the attesting witness of the sale deed. The present petitioner is in custody since 11.12.2015. He is not the beneficiary in the sale deed. Meena Kumari, who had impersonated for one of the vendors, has already been granted the benefit of bail. The challan has already been presented in this case. The petitioner is no more required for interrogation or investigation purposes as he is in judicial custody. Nothing is to be recovered from him. The trial of the case will take long time. No useful purpose will be served by keeping the petitioner in custody till the final disposal of the case.

Therefore, keeping in view the facts and circumstances of the present case; without discussing the facts in minute detail and without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, this criminal miscellaneous petition is allowed and the petitioner is ordered to be released on bail subject to his furnishing personal bond in the sum of `50,000/- with one surety in the like amount to the satisfaction of the trial Court/Duty Magistrate.
