! !"# ! !"$%% &'", the instant petition is not maintainable under Section 439 of Cr.P.C., 1973. However, keeping in view the entirety of facts and circumstances of the case especially that the instant petition pertains to regular bail, the instant petition is directed to be considered as a petition under Section 483 of Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023. Present petition has been filed for grant of regular bail to the petitioner in case bearing FIR No.13 dated 03.03.2024, registered for the offences punishable under Sections 363 and 3669A of IPC, 1860 at Police Station Rori, District Sirsa, Haryana.

Learned counsel for the petitioner has argued that the petitioner is in custody since 09.04.2024. Learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that there was consensual friendship between the petitioner and the victim which was not to the liking of the family of the victim & hence the petitioner has been falsely implicated into the FIR in question. To buttress his arguments, learned counsel for the petitioner has relied upon the statement made by the victim at the time of her medical examination as also her statement made under Section 164 of Cr.P.C. on 08.04.2024 before the concerned Judicial Magistrate. Thus, regular bail is prayed for. 4.

Learned State counsel has opposed the present petition arguing that the allegations raised are serious in nature and thus the petitioner does not deserve the concession of the regular bail.

5.

I have heard counsel for the parties and have gone through the available records of the case.

6.

The petitioner was arrested on 09.04.2024 whereinafter investigation was carried out & challan was presented on 04.07.2024. Total 14 prosecution witnesses have been cited and culmination of the trial will, but of course, take its own time. The rival contention of the learned counsel for the parties; as to whether the petitioner has been falsely implicated into the FIR in question on account of his having consensual friendship with the victim which was not to the liking of the family of the victim as also the weightage required to be attached to the statement made by the victim at the time of her medical examination as also the statement made by her under Section 164 of Cr.P.C.5 shall be gone into during the course of trial.

This Court does not deem it appropriate to delve deep into these rival contentions, at this stage, lest it may prejudice the trial. Nothing tangible has been brought forward to indicate the likelihood of the petitioner absconding from the process of justice or interfering with the remaining prosecution evidence. As per the custody certificate dated 24.09.2024 filed by the learned State counsel, the petitioner has suffered incarceration for more than 05 months and 15 days & is not shown to be involved in any other case. Suffice to say further detention of the petitioner as an undertrial is not warranted in the facts and circumstances of the present case. 7.

In view of totality of factual matrix of the present case, the instant petition is allowed. Petitioner is ordered to be released on regular bail on his furnishing bail/surety bonds to the satisfaction of the Ld. concerned CJM/Duty Magistrate. However, in addition to conditions that

may be imposed by the concerned CJM/Duty Magistrate, the petitioner shall remain bound by the following conditions:9 (i) The petitioner shall not mis9use the liberty granted. (ii) The petitioner shall not tamper with any evidence, oral or documentary, during the trial.

(iii) The petitioner shall not absent himself on any date before the trial.

(iv) The petitioner shall not commit any offence while on bail.

(v) The petitioner shall deposit his passport, if any, with the trial Court.

(vi) The petitioner shall give his cellphone number to the Investigating Officer/SHO of concerned Police Station and shall not change his cell9phone number without prior permission of the trial Court/Illaqa Magistrate.

(vii) The petitioner shall not in any manner try to delay the trial.
8.

In case of breach of any of the aforesaid conditions and those which may be imposed by concerned CJM/Duty Magistrate as directed hereinabove or upon showing any other sufficient cause, the State/complainant shall be at liberty to move cancellation of bail of the petitioner.

9.

Ordered accordingly.
