Mr. Vipul Sherwal, AAG Haryana.

**** JASJIT SINGH BEDI, J.

The prayer in the present petition under Section 483 BNSS, 2023 is for the grant of regular bail in case bearing FIR No.0658 dated 11.11.2025 (Annexure P-1) registered under Sections 316(2), 316(5), 318(4), 338, 336(3), 340(2), 61, 3(5), 344 of BNS and Section 7, 13 of Prevention of Corruption Act at Police Station Assandh, District Karnal.

2.

As per the allegations, Shree Radhe Radhe Rice Mills defalcated paddy to the extent of more than four crores. The petitioners are stated to be Managers in HAFED.

CRM-M-19535-2026 & CRM-M-20201-2026 -23. The learned counsel for the petitioners contends that the main accused namely Tarsem Kumar @ Tarsem Lal Garg has undertaken to make good the entire loss. In furtherance of the same, a sum of Rs.3,00,00,000/- has been paid and Rs.1,78,59,726.1/- would be paid within the next two weeks. As the petitioners are in custody since 06.02.2025 but the challan has not yet been submitted, therefore, the trial of the present case is not likely to be concluded anytime soon. Hence, they be granted the concession of bail. 3.

The learned State counsel has not disputed the factual assertions that the main accused namely Tarsem Kumar @ Tarsem Lal Garg has undertaken to make good the entire loss, and in furtherance thereof, a sum of Rs.3,00,00,000/- already stands paid towards dues of HAFED. He also concedes that the petitioners are in custody since 06.02.2025 but the challan has not yet been submitted.

4.

I have heard the learned counsel for the parties. 5.

Admittedly, Tarsem Kumar @ Tarsem Lal Garg, the proprietor of Shree Radhe Radhe Rice Mills has undertaken to make good the entire loss suffered by HAFED in furtherance of which he has paid a sum of Rs.3,00,00,000/- as against total outstanding amount of Rs.4,78,59,726.13/-. He has been granted the concession of interim anticipatory bail. The petitioners, who are Managers of HAFED, have been in custody since 06.02.2025 but the challan has not yet been submitted. Therefore, the Trial of the present case is not likely to be concluded in the near future. In this situation the further incarceration of the petitioners is not required.

CRM-M-19535-2026 & CRM-M-20201-2026 -36. Thus without commenting on the merits of the case, the present petition is allowed and petitioners Parmod Kumar S/o Ishwar Singh and Darshan Singh S/o Darbara Singh are ordered to be released on bail subject to their furnishing bail bonds and surety bonds to the satisfaction of learned CJM/Duty Magistrate, concerned.

7.

The petition stands disposed of.
