CRM-M No. 39203 of 2021 -2Learned counsel for the petitioner contends that the petitioner is in custody since the date of his arrest, i.e 02.07.2021 and is also not facing trial in any other criminal case of the similar nature and moreover, the Challan has already been presented in the Court and the charges have also been framed and in these circumstances, he (petitioner) deserves the relief as prayed for in this petition.

Learned State counsel does not dispute the afore-referred factual position.

Keeping in view the above-discussed facts and circumstances as well as the fact that the trial of the case is likely to take sufficient time to conclude and without commenting or expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, the petitioner named Hajar Khan is ordered to be released on regular bail subject to his furnishing the requisite personal and surety bonds to the satisfaction of learned trial Court/Chief Judicial Magistrate/ Duty Magistrate concerned.
