State of Haryana .....Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE HARINDER SINGH SIDHU

Present:

Mr. Vijay Kumar Sheoran, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. R.K Singla, DAG, Haryana.

HARINDER SINGH SIDHU, J Prayer is for grant of regular bail in case FIR No.66 dated 04.02.2022 under Sections 34/379-B/427 IPC registered at P.S Israna, District Panipat.

FIR was lodged on the complaint of one Rahul, who stated that on 03.02.2022 at around 7.45 p.m, he was returning to his home from his fields on his motorcycle Bajaj Platina. When he reached near Happy Chicken Corner Gohana Panipat Road, Israna, 6-7 boys were standing there. They stopped his motorcycle and started assaulting him. They snatched his mobile phone apart from a sum of Rs.70,000/-. They damaged his motorcycle and also snatched its key. He identified one of them as Vishal. Vishal was arrested on 08.02.2022. On his disclosure, the mobile phone snatched from the complainant was recovered. Name of the petitioner is alleged to have surfaced in the disclosure statement of Vishal that he was also with them at the time of incident.

Learned counsel for the petitioner contends that the petitioner is in custody since 18.05.2022. He is being implicated on the basis of disclosure statement of co-accused. He is a noted player of kabaddi and had participated in State and National level Kabaddi Championships. He MANOJ KUMAR 2022.07.08 10:21 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document

secured first position in Uttar Pradesh State Sports Championshup in 2019. He has fair chances of his being selected in Pro Kabaddi League. He has no criminal past and that there is no apprehension that the petitioner would abscond or otherwise interfere with the investigation. Without commenting anything on the merits of the case and also bearing in mind the fact that the trial is not likely to be concluded in near future, in my opinion, no useful purpose will be served by detaining the petitioner behind bars. The petition is allowed. The petitioner is ordered to be released on bail on his furnishing bail bonds/surety bonds to the satisfaction of learned trial Court/Duty Magistrate concerned.
