State of Haryana .. Respondent(s) * * *

CORAM:

HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE M.M.S.BEDI * * * PRESENT Mr.Y.P.Malik, Advocate, for the petitioner.

Mr.C.S.Bakshi, Addl. A.G., Haryana.

M.M.S. BEDI, J. (ORAL) Petitioner is accused of abetting the suicide of his wife Kusum.

State counsel, on the instructions of ESI Tejpal informs that out of 21 witnesses cited by the prosecution 20 witnesses stand already examined.

Counsel for the petitioner referring to the statements of the witnesses submits that the story of the prosecution is absolutely improbable and untrustworthy, as such, the petitioner may be granted the concession of bail.

I have heard the counsel for the petitioner as well as the State counseI. It will not be appropriate at this penultimate stage of the trial to appreciate the evidence in order to determine prima facie the culpability of the petitioner lest it should prejudice the rights

CRM-M-23722-2015 (O&M) of the petitioner or the prosecution.

At this stage, counsel for the petitioner seeks permission to withdraw the present petition.

Disposed of as withdrawn. However, it is observed that in case the trial is not concluded within a period of two months after the next date of hearing, the trial Court shall release the petitioner on his furnishing bail bonds/surety bonds to its satisfaction. The right of the petitioner to produce his defence will not, in any manner, be effected.
