Advocate that the petitioner is in custody since 07.01.2015 and that trial is not likely to conclude in near future and that the very applicability of Section 307 IPC is a moot issue which can only be decided during trial, though are sought to be opposed with much force and vehemence on behalf of the State by Mr. Deepak Sabharwal, Addl. Advocate General, Haryana contending that charges have already been framed against the petitioner.

However, keeping in view that the petitioner has already undergone incarceration for almost eight months and that the trial will take a long time to conclude, this Court without adverting onto the merits is of the opinion that further detention of the petitioner in the present case is not warranted. Accordingly, he is ordered to be released on regular bail to the satisfaction of trial Court.

The present petition stands disposed off accordingly. $  "%   &'&() #
