HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE SUBHAS MEHLA Present:- Mr. Rajesh Duhan, Advoacate for the petitioner. Mr. Surender Singh Pannu, Addl. A.G., Haryana. ***** SUBHAS MEHLA , J. (Oral) 1.

By way of the present petition, the petitioner is seeking regular bail in case bearing FIR No.485 dated 17.08.2023 under Sections 420, 467, 468, 471 and 201 of Indian Penal Code, 1860, registered at Police Station Krishna Gate, Thanesar, District Kurukshetra, Haryana. 2.

Learned counsel for the petitioner contended the petitioner has been falsely implicated in the present case. There is inordinate delay of lodging the present FIR. Recovery has already been effected in this case and he is in custody since 16.06.2025, i.e. for the last more than 07 months and thus, the petitioner deserves to be released on regular bail. 3.

On the other hand, learned State counsel opposed the prayer made by learned counsel for the petitioner by submitting that the petitioner is involved in two more cases, however, in one case he was acquitted. He further submitted that on the basisi of forged and fabricated documents he got GEETA RANI 2026.02.25 17:01 I attest to the accuracy and authenticity of this order/judgment Punjab & Haryana High Court at Chandigarh

Heard.

5.

Keeping in view the facts and circumstances of the case, the petitioner is in custody since 16.06.2025; investigation qua him has already been completed; challan stands presented; offences are triable by Magistrate, trial will take sufficient time to conclude and no fruitful purpose would be served by keeping him in custody for any further period, as concession of bail cannot be denied just as a measure of punishment, this Court deems it a fit case to grant the concession of regular bail to the petitioner. 6.

Therefore, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, the instant petition is allowed. The petitioner is ordered to be released on regular bail on his furnishing requisite bonds to the satisfaction of the trial Court/Duty Magistrate/Chief Judicial Magistrate concerned.
