Neelam v. State Of Haryana

IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA

AT CHANDIGARH CRM-M-31912 of 2018 Date of Decision: 03.08.2018 Neelam ....Petitioner

Versus

State of Haryana ....Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAMENDRA JAIN Present: - Mr. Yogesh Goel, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr. Yashwinder Singh, DAG, Haryana.

RAMENDRA JAIN, J. (ORAL) Prayer in the instant second petition under Section 439 Cr.P.C. has been made for grant of regular bail to petitioner Neelam in a case arising from FIR No.81 dated 23.03.2018 registered under Sections 148, 149, 307, 323, 342 and 506 IPC read with Section 25 of the Arms Act at Police Station Civil Line, District Sonipat.

Learned counsel for the petitioner inter alia contends that petitioner is in custody since 23.03.2018. Other co-accused of the petitioner have already been granted bail. Therefore, treating the case of petitioner on the same parity, she may also be granted regular bail. Conclusion of trial may take a sufficient long time. No useful purpose would be served by keeping the petitioner behind bars. Learned State counsel has vehemently opposed the grant of regular bail to the petitioner.

Considering overall facts and circumstances, but without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, the petition is allowed. Consequently, petitioner is ordered to be released on bail, on her furnishing bail bonds and surety bonds to the satisfaction of Trial Court/Duty Magistrate concerned.
