-.- JAISHREE THAKUR J. (ORAL) This is a petition that has been filed for grant of regular bail in case FIR No.45 dated 07.04.2019 under Sections 376 and 506 IPC registered at Police Station Adampur, District Jalandhar. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner would contend that the petitioner was in fact ready to marry the complainant and therefore, by an order dated 30.05.2019, the petitioner was released on interim bail for a period of two months. On his release, petitioner and the complainant solemnized marriage. The marriage certificate dated 16.07.2019 is available on record. The petitioner has also made out an FDR for an amount of `6 lakhs in the name of his wife i.e. complainant herein and therefore, prays for release of the petitioner on regular bail. Per contra, learned counsel appearing on behalf of the respondent-State opposes the bail application, while contending that the PANKAJ KUMAR 2020.01.22 17:51 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document

CRM-M No.24353 of 2019 -2offences alleged against the petitioner are serious in nature, therefore, the petitioner is not entitled to concession of regular bail. I have heard learned counsel for the parties. Since a marriage has taken place between the parties and the trial is likely to take some time to conclude, no useful purpose would be served in keeping the petitioner behind the bars. The instant petition is allowed and the petitioner is directed to be released on regular bail on execution of adequate personal bond and surety bond to the satisfaction of concerned trial Court/Duty Magistrate.
