4.

Learned counsel further submits that investigation is complete and challan has been presented. The petitioner is in custody since the date of his arrest i.e 12.12.2019. There is no headway in the trial due to Covid-19 pandemic.

5.

On the other hand, learned State counsel opposes the bail plea. He argues that 11 other cases are pending against the petitioner. 6.

Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that petitioner is on bail in all the 11 cases.

7.

On query of the Court, learned State counsel does not controvert that compromise indeed has been arrived between the parties. So far as the other cases wherein the petitioner is allegedly involved, he is on bail in all those cases. It is further admitted that the trial is held up due to current pandemic conditions.

8.

Having heard learned counsel for the parties and keeping in view the fact that parties have arrived at compromise, no useful purpose would be served by further keeping the petitioner in further preventive custody. The petitioner is stated to be in custody since 12.12.2019. There is no headway in the trial. The Courts are working in restricted manner and only urgent matters are being taken up.

9.

In the premise, the instant petition is allowed. Petitioner is ordered to be released on bail on his furnishing bail bonds/surety bonds subject to the satisfaction of Chief Judicial Magistrate/Duty Magistrate. OCTOBER 28, 2020 (ARUN MONGA) shalini JUDGE Whether speaking/reasoned :
