Versus

STATE OF HARYANA .. Respondent CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE H.S. GREWAL
 Mr. Namit Khurana, Advocate for the petitioner.

*** H.S. Grewal, J. (Oral)
  The present petition has been filed under Section 483 of Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 (BNSS), seeking regular bail in FIR No.18 dated 14.02.2019 under Section 307, 285, 457, 380, 34 of IPC and Section 25 of Arms Act registered at Police Station Buria, District Yamuna Nagar. 2.

The case of the prosecution is that some unknown persons stopped the vehicle and fired 07 rounds towards the complainant party with an intention to kill them, however, none of the gunshot(s) hit anybody. The petitioner has been arraigned as an accused solely on the basis of disclosure statement of his co-accused namely Wakib Ali. Apart from the disclosure statement, there is no other evidence to connect the petitioner with the alleged offence. 3.

Learned counsel for the petitioner contends the petitioner is not named in the FIR and as such, has been falsely implicated in the present case.

-2He further contends that the petitioner has already undergone custody of 01 year, 02 months and 14 days.

4.

Notice of motion.

5.

Mr. Tapan Masta, Addl. A.G., Haryana, accepts notice on behalf of the respondent-State.

6.

Learned counsel for the State by way of filing of custody certificate, vehemently opposes the grant of concession of regular bail and does not refute the fact that the petitioner has already undergone custody of 01 year, 02 months and 14 days. He further submits that the petitioner is involved in multiple cases.

7.

I have heard learned counsel for the parties and have gone through the material placed on record.

                                 01 year, 02 months and 14 days                    ,

              

                               9.

Hence, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, the instant petition is allowed. The petitioner is granted concession of regular bail in the present case, on his furnishing requisite bonds to the satisfaction of the trial Court/Duty Magistrate/ Chief Judicial Magistrate concerned. The pending applications, if any, also stand disposed of.

-310.

It is however, made clear that in case during his bail, if the petitioner indulges in any offence or does not appear before the Court concerned in the cases pending against him, the bail so granted by this Court shall be considered as cancelled.
