-1CRM-M-14197 of 2020 (O&M)

IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA

AT CHANDIGARH CRM-M-14197 of 2020 (O&M) Date of Decision: 23.06.2020 Karan Kumar

...Petitioner

Versus

State of Haryana ....Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAMENDRA JAIN Present:- Mr. Rahul Bhargava, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr. Munish Sharma, AAG, Haryana.

RAMENDRA JAIN, J. (ORAL) The case has been taken up for hearing through video conferencing.

Through this fourth petition under Section 439 Cr.P.C. prayer has been made for grant of regular bail to petitioner - Karan Kumar - in a case arising from FIR No.247 dated 14.09.2016 registered under Sections 302, 394, 450, 404, 201 IPC at Police Station Sector 56, District Gurugram. Learned counsel inter alia contends that out of total 26 prosecution witnesses, five are yet to be examined. Petitioner is in custody since 14.09.2016. Thus, conclusion of trial may take a sufficient long time. No useful purpose would be served by detaining the petitioner in jail any more.

On the other hand, learned counsel for the State vehemently opposed the grant of regular bail to the petitioner. RAVINDER SINGH 2020.06.25 15:55 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document

-2CRM-M-14197 of 2020 (O&M) Having given thoughtful consideration to the rival submissions and the fact that only five prosecution witnesses remain to be examined, therefore, there is every likelihood of conclusion of trial in a reasonable time, this Court is not inclined to grant regular bail to the petitioner. More so, no new ground is made out in this fourth bail application. Dismissed.

No further bail application of the petitioner shall be entertained before conclusion of trial.
