Cr. Misc. No.M-41666 of 2015 [2] State and have gone through the record.

From the record, I find that as per the prosecution version the allegation against the present petitioner is that he used to manage the persons who appear and give the bail by forging documents and by impersonating etc. There is no allegation in the present FIR that the present petitioner himself impersonated as a surety nor there is any other direct allegation against him that he stood surety or appeared in the Court for giving false surety. The offences are triable by Judicial Magistrate Ist Class. The petitioner is in judicial custody since 8.10.2015. The petitioner is no more required for any interrogation and investigation purposes as he is in judicial custody. 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 `40,000/- with one surety in the like amount to the satisfaction of the trial Court/Duty Magistrate.
