AT CHANDIGARH CRM-M-34519-2024 Decided on : 16.01.2025 Neeraj Chawla . . . Petitioner(s)

Versus

State of Haryana . . . Respondent(s)

CORAM:

HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE SANJAY VASHISTH PRESENT: Mr. Balraj Gujar, Advocate for the petitioner(s).

Mr. Vikas Bhardwaj, AAG, Haryana.

**** SANJAY VASHISTH , J. (Oral) 1.

The instant petition has been filed under Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, for grant of regular bail to the petitioner - Neeraj Chawla, who has been booked for having committed the offence punishable under Sections 302, 307, 449, 34 of IPC and Sections 25, 25(1A) of the Arms Act, 1959, in FIR No. 207, dated 21.10.2021, registered at Police Station Dhauj, District Faridabad.

2.

Admittedly, due to the shots fired by the petitioner, three persons lost their lives and one person suffered serious firearm injury in the stomach. Besides, petitioner is inside jail for the last three years and trial is in progress.

3.

Looking at the nature of the incident and the role attributed to the petitioner, I do not find any substantial reason to consider his plea for regular bail.

4.

Accordingly, petition stands dismissed at this stage. (SANJAY VASHISTH) JUDGE January 16, 2025 J.Ram Whether speaking/reasoned:
