CORAM:- HON'BLE MS. JUSTICE JAISHREE THAKUR Present:- Mr. Rajesh Hooda, Advocate for the petitioner.

Ms. Trishanjali, AAG, Haryana.

-.- JAISHREE THAKUR, J. (ORAL) 1.

The instant petition has been filed under Section 439 Cr.P.C. for grant of regular bail in case FIR No.549 dated 25.09.2018 under Sections 498-A, 304-B/34 IPC registered at Police Station Jind City Gohana, District Sonipat to the petitioner, who is in custody since 25.09.2019.

2.

Learned counsel for the petitioner would contend that he has been falsely implicated in the said case, while further submitting that statement of the material witness i.e. the complainant has been examined. Since the trial is likely to take some time to conclude, the petitioner be released on bail.

3.

Per contra, learned counsel appearing on behalf of the respondent-State opposes the bail application, while contending that the offences alleged against the petitioner are serious in nature and therefore, the petitioner is not entitled to concession of regular bail. 4.

I have heard learned counsel for the parties. 5.

On the asking of the Court, counsel for the respondent-State on PANKAJ KUMAR 2020.02.28 13:57 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document

CRM-M No.48857 of 2019 -2instructions from IO would submit that out of total 11 witnesses, four witnesses have been examined. Since the trial court is likely to take some time and in view of the fact that no further investigation is required and statement of complainant has already been recorded, no useful purpose would be served in keeping the petitioner behind the bars. The instant petition is allowed and the petitioner is directed to be released on regular bail on execution of adequate personal bond and surety bond to the satisfaction of concerned trial Court/Duty Magistrate. However, any observation made herein shall not be construed to be an expression on merits of the case.
