IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA

AT CHANDIGARH Date of Decision: 29.05.2026 JAI DHILLON ALIAS COMMANDO ... PETITIONER

VERSUS

STATE OF HARYANA ... RESPONDENT CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE H.S.GREWAL Present:- Mr. J.P.Jangu, Advocate for the petitioner.

H.S. GREWAL, J. (ORAL) 1.

This petition has been filed by the petitioner seeking regular bail under Section 483 BNSS, 2023 (erstwhile Section 439 Cr.P.C.), in case FIR No. 244 dated 05.11.2025, registered under Sections 109(1) BNS/307 IPC, Section 3(5) BNS/34 IPC (Section 117(2) of BNS/325 IPC added later on) at Police Station Industrial Area, Bhiwani, District Bhiwani. 2.

The case of the prosecution is that petitioner along with his associates, was travelling in a car when an altercation took place between them and the complainant. It is alleged that they exchanged heated words, and thereafter, petitioner who was driving the vehicle, intentionally struck the complainant with the car, as a result of which the complainant sustained injuries.

3.

Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is innocent and has been falsely implicated in the present case. He further submits that the petitioner is in custody for the last 05 months and 01 day and is not involved in any other case. He, thus, prays for grant of bail to the petitioner.

4.

Notice of motion.

5.

Dr. Malvika Singh, D.A.G., Haryana accepts notice on behalf of the State and has vehemently opposed the prayer for grant of regular bail to the petitioner on the ground of gravity of allegations. Learned State counsel has filed the custody certificate in Court, which is taken on record. She further submits that as per the custody certificate, the petitioner is in custody for the last 05 months and 01 day.

6.

I have heard the learned counsel for the parties and perused the record.

7.

After hearing the rival contentions of the learned counsel for the parties and keeping in view the facts and circumstances of the case that the petitioner is in custody for the last 05 months and 01 day; he is not involved in any other case; the conclusion of trial is likely to take some time and continuous detention of the petitioner would not serve the ends of justice, this Court deems it fit to grant the concession of regular bail to the petitioner during the pendency of the trial.

8.

Therefore, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, the instant petition is allowed. The petitioner is ordered to be released on regular bail on his furnishing requisite bail bonds, surety bonds to the satisfaction of the trial Court/Duty Magistrate/Chief Judicial Magistrate concerned.

9.

Nothing discussed hereinabove shall be construed as an expression of opinion on the merits of the case. 10.

It is clarified that while on bail so granted through the instant order the petitioner is found indulging in any other criminal case, it shall be open to the State to seek cancellation of his bail.

11.

Pending miscellaneous application(s), if any, shall also stand disposed of.
