...Petitioner

Versus

State of Haryana ....Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAMENDRA JAIN Present:- Mr. Virender Mandhan, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr. Chetan Sharma, AAG, Haryana.

RAMENDRA JAIN, J. (ORAL) Through instant petition under Section 439 Cr.P.C. prayer has been made for grant of regular bail to petitioner - Mukesh in a case arising from FIR No.495 dated 08.08.2019 registered under Sections 66(E), 67(A) of the IT Act and Section 328 IPC at Police Station Samalkha, District Panipat.

Petitioner is facing trial in aforesaid FIR on the allegations that he made viral obscene video of the complainant, who is a lady. Learned counsel for the petitioner inter alia contends that petitioner is in custody since 08.08.2019. Conclusion of trial may take a sufficient long time. No useful purpose would be served by detaining the petitioner in jail any more.

On the other hand, learned State counsel vehemently opposed the grant of regular bail to the petitioner.
