(ORAL) CRM No.27538 of 2021 Application is allowed as prayed for.

CRM No.27540 of 2021 Application is allowed.

CRM-M No.31801 of 2020 This is a petition that has been filed for grant of regular bail to the petitioner in FIR No.297 dated 17.06.2020 registered under Section 306 IPC at Police Station Mahesh Nagar, District Ambala. Learned counsel for the petitioner would contend that the petitioner has been falsely implicated in the said matter as would be evident from the fact that statements of the complainant and other material witness have been recorded, who did not support the prosecution version. The petitioner has two minor children and there is no one available to look after

CRM-M No.31801 of 2020 -2them. The petitioner is in custody since 18.06.2020 and the trial is likely to take some time to conclude, therefore, prays for concession of regular bail to the petitioner.

Learned counsel appearing for the respondent-State opposes grant of regular bail to the petitioner by contending that allegations levelled against him are serious in nature, however, she does not dispute the fact that material witnesses have been turned hostile. I have heard learned counel for the parties and in view of the fact that statement of the complainant has already been recorded, who did not support the prosecution version and the fact that the trial is likely to take some time to conclude, no useful purpose would be served in keeping the petitioner behind bars. The instant petition is allowed and the petitioner is directed to be released on regular bail on his execution of personal/surety bonds to the satisfaction of concerned trial court/Duty Magistrate. However, any observation made herein shall not be construed to be an expression on merits of the case.
