AT CHANDIGARH CRM-M-34836 of 2017 (O&M) Date of Decision: 07.11.2017 Nirmala Devi ....Petitioner

Versus

State of Punjab and others ....Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAMENDRA JAIN Present: - Mr. Premjit S. Hundal, Advocate, for the petitioner. Ms. Bhavna Gupta, DAG, Punjab.

Ms. Riffi Birla, Advocate, for respondents No.3, 5 and 6. RAMENDRA JAIN, J. (ORAL) Prayer in the instant petition under Section 439 Cr.P.C. has been made for grant of regular bail to petitioner Nirmala Devi in a case arising from FIR No.115/2017 dated 29.07.2017 under Sections 420 and 120-B IPC registered at Police Station Sadar Fazilka, District Fazilka. Learned counsel for the petitioner inter alia contends that all the allegations in the FIR are against the husband of the petitioner. She has nothing to do with the cheating or whatsoever with the complainant, if any, allegedly done by the husband of the petitioner. Petitioner is in custody since 29.07.2017. The conclusion of trial shall take long time. No useful purpose would be served by detaining the petitioner in jail.

On the other hand, learned State counsel vehemently opposed the prayer for grant of regular bail to the petitioner. Considering over-all facts and circumstances, but without Ravinder Singh 2017.11.07 16:56 I attest to the accuracy and authenticity of this document expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, the petition is allowed.

-2CRM-M-34836 of 2017 (O&M) bail bonds and surety bonds, to the satisfaction of Trial Court/Duty Magistrate concerned.
