Mr. Rupinder Singh Jhand, Addl. Advocate General, Haryana, *** N.S.Shekhawat J. (Oral) 1. The petitioner has filed the instant petition under Section 483 of Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 with a prayer to grant regular bail to him in case FIR No.277 dated 13.11.2024 registered under Sections 406, 420, 120-B, 201 of IPC and Sections 10 & 24 of Immigration Act, at Police Station City Thanesar. 2. Learned counsel for the petitioner contends that the petitioner was not initially named in the FIR and the allegations were levelled primarily against Rishi Mittal, Pooja Gupta and Sumit. He further contends that the name of the petitioner surfaced in the disclosure statement of Rishi Mittal, co-accused and it has been falsely alleged that the petitioner alongwith his co-accused had cheated the complainant on the pretext of sending him abroad. The petitioner was arrested in the present case on 07.03.2025 and is in custody since then. He further contends that the petitioner is at present suffering from cancer and has already undergone two operations. He has been advised to consume only liquid HEMLATA 2025.07.07 22:45 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document CRM-M-31932-2025 -2- diet, which cannot be provided to him in jail. Even during his custody in jail, he was taken to PGIMER, Chandigarh for treatment and his case deserves sympathetic consideration by this Court. 3. On the other hand, learned State counsel has vehemently opposed the submissions made by learned counsel for the petitioner on the ground that two more cases of similar nature have been ordered to be registered against the petitioner and he does not deserve the concession of bail by this Court. 4. I have heard the learned counsel for the parties and perused the record. 5. In the present case, the petitioner is stated to be in custody for the last about four months and challan has already been presented against him. Moreover, the health of the petitioner has further deteriorated and during his custody period also, he was taken to PGIMER, Chandigarh for his treatment. 6. Thus, without commenting anything on the merits of the case, the present petition is allowed and the petitioner is ordered to be released on bail subject to his furnishing bail bonds/surety bonds to the satisfaction of the trial Court/Duty Magistrate/Chief Judicial Magistrate, concerned.
