CORAM:

HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJAN GUPTA

Present:

Mr. Rajiv Dhawan, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr. Chetan Sharma, AAG, Haryana.

***** Rajan Gupta, J. (Oral) This is a petition filed under Section 439 Cr.P.C. seeking regular bail in a case registered against the petitioner vide FIR No.391 dated 17.09.2017 under Sections 379 IPC at Police Station Indri, Karnal. Learned counsel for the petitioner contends that the offence is triable by Magistrate and the petitioner is incarcerated for 03 months. Learned State counsel has opposed the prayer for bail. Heard.

In view of the above, this court does not intend to express any opinion on the merits of the case. However, keeping in view the fact that the offence is triable by Magistrate, period of incarceration and the fact that trial is not likely to conclude at an early date, I deem it appropriate to grant regular bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, petition is allowed and the petitioner is ordered to be enlarged on bail to the satisfaction of Chief Judicial Magistrate/Duty Magistrate, Karnal.
