AT CHANDIGARH CRM-M-26250 of 2022 Date of decision: 21.11.2022 VIKRAM @ VIKKI @ SONU ..PETITIONER Vs.

STATE OF HARYANA ..RESPONDENT CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE HARNARESH SINGH GILL Present: Dr. Sumati Jund, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. R.S. Nain, DAG, Haryana.

**** HARNARESH SINGH GILL, J.

Through this petition, the petitioner seeks regular bail in case FIR No.164, dated 22.12.2019, under Sections 406 and 420 of IPC, 1860 but during investigation sections 467, 468 and 471 IPC have been added, registered at Police Station Baragudha, District Sirsa. Learned counsel for the petitioner states that petitioner has been falsely implicated in the present case, that he was not named in the FIR and indicted in the present case on the disclosure statement of co-accused Desh Raj, who has been granted bail by the Sessions Court on 21.10.2022. The petitioner has been in custody since 04.04.2022. Sohan Lal co-accused, who was specifically named in the FIR has been granted bail on 28.10.2022 by the learned trial Court.

CRM-M-26250 of 2022 -2Learned counsel for the petitioner further states that there are two more FIRs against the petitioner and he is on bail in those cases. Learned State counsel while opposing the bail application states that the petitioner along with the other co-accused has formed a group to allure the unemployed persons to pay money on the pretext of getting employment on DC rates.

I have heard learned counsel for the parties. Petitioner was not named in the FIR and has been indicted on the disclosure statement of co-accused Desh Raj, who has been granted bail by the Sessions Court on 21.10.2022. The petitioner has been in custody since 04.04.2022. Even co-accused Sohan Lal has already been granted bail. Nothing more is to be recovered from the petitioner. Challan has already been presented. The conclusion of trial will take time. No useful purpose to keep the petitioner behind the bar. In view of the above, without commenting anything on the merits, lest it should prejudice the case of either side, the present petition is allowed and the petitioner is ordered to be released on bail on his furnishing bail and surety bonds to the satisfaction of the learned trial Court/Duty Magistrate.
