Date of Decision: July 23, 2016 CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE INDERJIT SINGH

Present:

Mr.Devender Arya, Advocate for the petitioner.

**** INDERJIT SINGH, J.

Both the above-stated petitions are taken up together being arisen from same FIR.

Petitioners have filed these petitions under Section 439 Cr.P.C. for grant of regular bail in case FIR No.270 dated 01.04.2016 under Sections 420, 467, 468, 471 IPC and Section 61 of the Excise Act registered at Police Station Sadar Karnal, District Karnal. Notice of motion.

Mr.Vikramjit Singh, Addl. Advocate General, Haryana, who is present in the Court, on the asking of the Court, accepted notice on behalf of VINEET GULATI 2016.07.23 16:04 I attest to the accuracy and authenticity of this document Chandigarh the respondent-State and contested both the petitions.

CRM No.M-18370 of 2016 (O&M) and connected case -2Police record is also available.

I have heard learned counsel for the petitioners as well as learned State counsel and have gone through the record. From the record, I find that the main allegation against the present petitioners is that they along with other accused were carrying liquor in the truck and were having forged bilty and bill etc. The challan has already been presented. The charges have already been framed. The offences are triable by Judicial Magistrate. The petitioners are no more required for interrogation or investigation purposes. Petitioner Ranbir Singh is in custody since 01.04.2016 and petitioner Navdeep Singh @ Lucky is in custody since 21.05.2016. The trial of the case will take long time. No useful purpose will be served by keeping the petitioners in custody.

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, both the petitions are allowed and the petitioners are ordered to be released on bail subject to their furnishing personal/surety bonds in the sum of `50,000/- with one surety in the like amount each to the satisfaction of the trial Court/Duty Magistrate.
