Ravinder v. State Of Haryana



    

IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA

AT CHANDIGARH C.R.M-M No.18325-2015 (O&M) Date of Decision : 01.09.2015 Ravinder ...... Petitioner versus State of Haryana ...... Respondent CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE AJAY TEWARI *** Present :

Mr. N.S.Shekhawat, Advocate for the petitioner.

Ms. Tanushree Gupta, DAG, Haryana.

1. Whether Reporters of local papers may be allowed to see the judgment?

2. To be referred to the Reporters or not?

3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? AJAY TEWARI, J. (Oral) This petition has been filed under Section 439 Cr.P.C. for grant of regular bail to the petitioner in case F.I.R. No.196 dated 23.05.2014 registered under Sections 302/201/34 IPC at Police Station Sadar, Jind. The contention is that the petitioner has been in custody since 23.05.2014 and trial will take sufficient long time. Learned Deputy Advocate General on instructions from ASI Birbal Singh states that out of total 18 witnesses 5 have already been examined. She has also accepted the fact that the custody is for one year and three months but states that since its a serious offence it would be more appropriate to fix a time cap on the trial and prosecution will lead its entire evidence within 4 months.

I find this to be a fair request.

Since the main case has been decided, the pending criminal miscellaneous application, if any, also stands disposed of. ( AJAY TEWARI ) 01.09.2015 JUDGE Pooja Sharma-I POOJA SHARMA 2015.09.03 11:16 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document Punjab and Haryana High Court, Chandigarh
