MANJARI NEHRU KAUL, J. (Oral) The instant petition has been filed for grant of regular bail to the petitioner in case FIR No. 13 dated 23.01.2020 under Sections 419, 420, 467, 468, 471, 120-B IPC registered at Police Station Sushant Lok, Gurugram.

Contends that the petitioner has been in custody since 03.03.2020 and charges have not been framed till date. While drawing the attention of this Court to the order dated 02.07.2020 vide which the first application of the petitioner for regular bail was dismissed the learned counsel submitted that the involvement of the petitioner in a case of similar nature was looked into by this Court while declining him the concession of regular bail. However, subsequently vide order dated 25.08.2020 (Annexure P6) this court has extended the concession of regular bail to the petitioner in the other case which is registered against him.

CRM-M-25481-2020 [ 2 ] Notice of motion.

On the asking of the court, Mr. Apoorv Garg, DAG, Haryana, accepts notice on behalf of the State. He, while opposing the prayer and submissions of the petitioner, has admitted that the petitioner has been extended the concession of regular bail in the other FIR which stands registered against him. He has further submitted that the trial has not been able to proceed due to the prevailing conditions on account of COVID-19. Heard.

In view of the submissions made by the learned counsel and keeping in view that the trial is unlikely to conclude in the near future, I deem it a fit case to grant the concession of regular bail. The petition is allowed and the petitioner is admitted to bail to the satisfaction of trial Court/Duty Magistrate. However, it is made clear that any observation made herein shall not be construed as an expression of opinion on the merits of the case.
