Cr. Misc. No.M-29353 of 2016 [2] From the record, I find that the FIR in the present case has been registered on the statement of Balwinder Singh. As per the allegation, the present petitioner was the employer of deceased Jagdeep Singh. As per the allegation, when the salary was demanded from the accused, then he again made false promise and a dispute arose between his son and Rajpal Singh Walia-present petitioner.

Learned counsel for the petitioner argued that no offence of abetment to commit suicide is made out from the perusal of the FIR. The present petitioner has been in custody since 24.4.2016. The petitioner is not required for interrogation or investigation purposes as he is in judicial custody. The trial of the case will take long time. No useful purpose will be served by keeping the petitioner in custody till the final disposal of the case.

Therefore, keeping in view the facts and circumstances of the present case; without discussing the facts in minute detail and without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, this criminal miscellaneous petition is allowed and the petitioner is ordered to be released on bail subject to his furnishing personal bond in the sum of `50,000/- with one surety in the like amount to the satisfaction of the trial Court/Duty Magistrate.
