This is a petition filed under Section 439 Cr.P.C. seeking regular bail in a case registered against the petitioner vide FIR No. 226 dated 23.05.2014 under Sections 419, 420, 448, 467, 468, 471, 511 & 120-B IPC at Police Station Sector 5, Panchkula. Allegation against the petitioner is that he procured documents of the property in question and tried to alienate the same to prospective buyer. According to learned counsel, petitioner is in custody since 20.05.2015. Case is triable by Magistrate. Thus, no useful purpose would be served by detaining him in custody any longer.

Learned State counsel has opposed the prayer for bail. According to him, investigation is already complete and challan has been presented before the competent court.
