CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE SUDHIR MITTAL

Present:

Mr. Aakash Dalal, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr. Himmat Singh, Additional Advocate General, Haryana. ***** SUDHIR MITTAL, J. (ORAL) The petitioner seeks regular bail in FIR No.342, dated 30.10.2022, registered at Police Station Sadar Palwal, District Palwal, under Sections 193, 407, 411, 420, 120-B & 201 IPC. 2.

Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that petitioner has been in custody for more than five months. The trial is not likely to be concluded at an early date as only charges have been framed as yet. No other criminal case is pending/decided against the petitioner and thus, he may be granted regular bail.

3.

Custody certificate dated 29.04.2023 digitally signed by Sh.Sumit Panwar, Deputy Superintendent, District Prison, Faridabad has been filed in Court. The same is taken on record. A perusal thereof shows that the petitioner has undergone actual custody of 05 months and 18 days and there is no other criminal case pending/decided against him.

Learned State counsel concedes that only charges have been framed as yet.

5.

Thus, it is evident that the trial is not likely to be concluded at an early date. Keeping in view the custody period of the petitioner as well as the fact that there is no other criminal case pending against him, I deem it appropriate to grant him regular bail.

6.

Accordingly, the petition is allowed. The petitioner is ordered to be released on bail on his furnishing bail and surety bonds to the satisfaction of the trial Court/Duty Magistrate concerned. 7.

Nothing stated hereinabove shall be construed as an opinion on the merits of the case.
