Present:

Mr. Pardeep Prakash Chahar, DAG, Haryana.

Mr. Munish Behl, Advocate for the complainant.

**** HARNARESH SINGH GILL , J. (ORAL) Case is taken up for hearing through video conferencing. The petitioner seeks regular bail in FIR No. 150 dated 31.5.2021 under Sections 148, 149, 323, 324, 341, 342, 506 and 326 (added later on) IPC registered at Police Station Mundkati, District Palwal. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has been falsely involved in the present case. Rather the injury attributed to the petitioner, on the hand of the complainant with a stick, is simple in nature and the same would fall under Section 323 IPC. He further submits that the petitioner has been in custody since 04.7.2021. Learned State counsel, assisted by the learned counsel for the complainant, submits that the petitioner was the member of the unlawful assembly and gave a stick blow on the left hand of complainant-Joginder.

CRM-M No. 34024 of 2021 -2Learned counsel for the complainant further submits that moreover, the brother of the complainant had also lodged an FIR against the petitioner in the year 2012, however, the said FIR was quashed in the year 2016, on the basis of the compromise effected between the parties. I have heard the learned counsel for the parties. The injuries attributed to the petitioner are simple in nature. The petitioner has been in custody since 4.7.2021. The trial will take time to conclude because of Covid-19 pandemic. No useful purpose would be served by keeping the petitioner behind the bars. Without commenting anything on the merits of the case, the petition is allowed and the petitioner is ordered to be released on bail on his furnishing bail/surety bonds to the satisfaction of the trial Court/Duty Magistrate.
