CRM-M-51224-2018 -2regular bail to the petitioner, while submitting that offences alleged against the petitioner are serious in nature, however, he does not dispute the fact that investigation has been completed and challan has been presented. I have heard learned counsel for the parties. Since, investigation in the matter has been completed and the challan has been presented, the trial is likely to take some time and in view of the fact that the petitioner herein has been in custody since 21.07.2018, no useful purpose would be served in keeping the petitioner behind bars. At this stage, without commenting on the merits of the case, the instant petition is allowed and the petitioner is directed to be released on regular bail on execution of adequate personal bond and surety bonds to the satisfaction of concerned trial Court/Duty Magistrate.
