Present:

Mr. Ankit Yadav, Advocate for the petitioner. Ms. Malvika Singh, DAG, Haryana.

**** H.S.GREWAL , J. (ORAL) This petition has been filed under Section 483 of B.N.S.S. / 439 Cr.P.C for grant of Interim Bail to the petitioner for 4 months (on the ground that petitioner's wife namely Mrs. Mili Dhiman gave birth to a baby on 16.05.2026) in FIR No.71 dated 12.03.2025 under Sections 419, 420, 467, 468 & 471 IPC [corresponding sections under BNS are 319(2), 318(4), 338, 336(3) & 340(2) respectively] registered at Police Station Shivaji Nagar, (Annexure P-1), District Gurugram, Haryana.

Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has been blessed with a baby on 16.05.2026 and his wife is currently admitted in the hospital. He further submits that the petitioner's mother has expired and that his marriage with his wife was a love marriage solemnized against the wishes of their respective families. As a result, the petitioner and his wife are not on cordial terms with their relatives, who are not even on talking terms with them. It is further submitted that the petitioner has a minor daughter aged about 13 years, who is not capable of taking care of her mother and the newborn child on her RENU RAWAT 2026.05.26 18.11 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document Chandigarh

Learned State counsel has vehemently opposed the prayer made by ld. counsel or the petitioner on the ground that the family members of the petitioner's wife reside in close proximity to the petitioner's house. I have heard the submissions addressed by the respective counsel. There is no dispute that the petitioner's wife gave birth to a child on 16.05.2026. At this crucial stage, the wife of the petitioner would naturally require the company, care and support of her husband. Undoubtedly, both the petitioner's wife and the newborn child require utmost attention and care for their well-being and health.

Accordingly, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, the present petition is allowed and the petitioner is ordered to be released on interim bail for a period of four weeks from the date of his release and he shall surrender before the Jail authority at 5:00 P.M on completion of four weeks, subject to his furnishing bail bonds/surety bonds to the tune of Rs. 2,50,000/- (Rs. Two lacs fifty thousand) before the Illaqa Magistrate/ Chief Judicial Magistrate/ Duty Magistrate concerned.

Pending miscellaneous application(s), if any, stand disposed of. 26.05.2026 (H.S.GREWAL) renu JUDGE Whether speaking/reasoned: Yes/No Whether reportable:
