Learned counsel for the appellants submitted that the appellants have been in custody since 17.01.2026. It is further submitted that the injuries to the complainant are simple in nature and attributed to the co-accused, namely Ram Chander, who has already been granted bail vide order dated 11.11.2025 passed by learned Additional Sessions Judge, Faridabad.

CRA-S-1214-2026 (O&M) ( 2 ) present appellants actively participated in the commission of offence and caused injuries to the injured/complainant and also passed remarks regarding his caste. However, it is not disputed that the investigation has already been completed and final report has been submitted and the case is now fixed before the trial Court for 24.04.2026 for consideration on charge.

Heard.

5.

Keeping in view the facts and circumstances of the case; the appellants are in custody since 17.01.2026; investigation qua them has already been completed; there is no material to suggest that they are involved in any other criminal case except the present one; co-accused Ram Chander has already been granted bail vide order dated 11.11.2025 passed by learned Additional Sessions Judge, Faridabad; trial will take sufficient time to conclude and no fruitful purpose would be served by keeping them in custody for any further period, as concession of bail cannot be denied just as a measure of punishment, this Court deems it a fit case to grant the concession of regular bail to the appellants.

6.

Therefore, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, the instant appeal is allowed. The appellants are ordered to be released on regular bail on their furnishing requisite bonds to the satisfaction of the trial Court/Duty Magistrate/Chief Judicial Magistrate concerned.
