CRM No.M-53585 of 2018 and connected petition -2Mr.Chetan Sharma, AAG, Haryana, has put in appearance on behalf of the respondent-State and contested the petitions. Mr.Pawan Hooda, Advocate has appeared on behalf of the complainant and also contested the petitions.

I have heard learned counsel for the parties as well as learned State counsel and have gone through the record. From the record, I find that petitioners are stated to be armed with dandas and simple injuries are attributed to them but only two injuries have been suffered by the complainant, as argued. No injury has been declared dangerous to life.

The petitioners have been in custody since November 2018. They are not required for custodial interrogation as they are in judicial custody. The trial of the case will take long time. No useful purpose will be served by keeping the petitioners in custody till the disposal of the case. Keeping in view the facts and circumstances of the present case, without discussing the facts in minute detail and without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, both the petitions are allowed and the petitioners are ordered to be released on bail subject to their furnishing personal/surety bonds in the sum of `30,000/- with one surety in the like amount each to the satisfaction of the trial Court/Duty Magistrate.
