IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATES OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH.

Cr. Misc. M 40925 of 2016 Date of decision: 29.11.2016 Bablu Petitioner vs.

State of Haryana and another Respondent

Present:

Mr. GS Sawhney, Advocate.

Mr. CS Bakshi, Addl.A.G. Hry M.M.S.BEDI,J.

There are serious allegations against the petitioner of having indulged in the commission of offence by damaging the pipe line of Mundra Panipat channel after causing damage to the national property and retaining the stolen property. The petitioner is though not named in the FIR but has been involved in the case on the basis of confessional statement made by him in a similar case, after his arrest. Pursuant to the disclosure statement, some money and tractor trolley were recovered from him. Challan has already been presented. The petitioner has been in custody since 12.7.2016. On being asked by the court, it has been informed that out of 16 prosecution witnesses 2 have been examined.

In view of the above circumstances, it will not be prudent to keep the petitioner in custody during the pendency of the trial. The petition is allowed. The petitioner is ordered to be released on bail on his furnishing bail bonds/ surety bonds to the satisfaction of the trial court. It will be open to the prosecution agency to seek cancellation of bail in case the petitioner is found committing the similar acts.
