RAMENDRA JAIN, J. (ORAL) Through this petition under Section 439 Cr.P.C. prayer has been made for grant of regular bail to the petitioner in a case arising from FIR No.317 dated 13.09.2016 registered under Sections 302/34 IPC at Police Station Madhuban, District Karnal.

Petitioner is facing trial in the aforesaid case for committing murder of one Deepak.

Learned counsel for the petitioner inter alia contends that none of the material witnesses examined by the prosecution has supported the prosecution story qua petitioner, who is in custody since 14.09.2017. Petitioner was falsely implicated on the alleged disclosure statement of coaccused Mannu, which is a very weak type of evidence. Even no recovery was effected from the petitioner. 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 State counsel vehemently opposed RAVINDER SINGH 2018.12.06 11:48 I attest to the accuracy and authenticity of this document the grant of regular bail to the petitioner.
