Cr. Misc. No.M-35308 of 2017 [2] sugar, weighing 320 quintals were loaded in the truck on 9.4.2017 morning. The truck of sugar did not reach its destination. It was enquired from the driver of the truck on mobile, who stated that he had stranded in traffic jam near Palwal. After some time, he again tried to contact the driver, but the mobile number of the driver was coming 'switched off'. Later on, he came to know that the truck was stationed at some other place. The present petitioner has been in custody since 25.8.2017. The allegation is regarding misappropriation of sugar bags. The case is triable by the Judicial Magistrate Ist Class. The petitioner, who is in judicial custody, is no more required for any interrogation and investigation purposes. 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.
