The instant petition has been filed under Section 483 of BNSS, 2023 (earlier Section 439 Cr.P.C.), for grant of regular bail to the petitioner, during the pendency of trial, who has been booked in a criminal case arising out of First Information Report, as detailed hereunder:- Name of Petitioner(s) FIR No. Date Section(s) Police Station District Rajan Kumar 77 29.04.2025 111(3), 296, Sadar Ratia Fatehabad AMANDEEP GOSAIN 2025.08.02 14:30 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this order/judgment CRM-M-31991-2025 (O&M) - 2- 351(2), 351(3) of BNS and Section 25 of Arms Act and Section 238 of BNS added later on 4. Learned counsel for the petitioner contends that petitioner is a young boy, aged about 21 years and other co-accused of the petitioner namely Harmanpreet @Harman Singh and Rohit Rana have already been granted bail by the Court of Sessions (Annexures P-2 and P-3). He further argues that attribution to the petitioner and all other accused is almost of similar nature being the syndicate member of the organized crime and therefore petitioner is also entitled for the grant of concession of bail. 5. He also submits that after completion of investigation, final report has already been submitted to the concerned Court and nothing more is to be recovered from the possession of the petitioner. Thus prays for grant of regular bail. 6. On the other hand, learned State counsel submits that mobile phone and two swords have been recovered from the possession of the petitioner. He also points out that Instagram account of the petitioner was used to upload the offending video, which is under question in the present case. However, he does not deny the fact that other co-accused namely Harmanpreet @Harman Singh and Rohit Rana have been granted bail by the Court of Sessions and final report has already been submitted before the concerned Court. 7. This Court has heard the learned counsel for the parties concerned, AMANDEEP GOSAIN 2025.08.02 14:30 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this order/judgment CRM-M-31991-2025 (O&M) - 3- and has gone through the instant petition. 8. Taking into consideration the fact that petitioner has undergone the custody period of more than 03 months and recording of the statement of witnesses is yet to start and the factors noticed hereinabove, I deem it appropriate to grant the concession of bail to the petitioner. Consequently, prayer made in the present petition is allowed. Petitioner is ordered to be released on bail, subject to his furnishing bail/surety bonds to the satisfaction of the learned trial Court/ Chief Judicial Magistrate/ Illaqa Magistrate/ Duty Magistrate concerned, if not required in any other case. 9. Needless to observe that the petitioner shall not extend any threat and shall not influence any prosecution witness in any manner directly or indirectly. 10. Any of the discussion done and recorded hereabove, shall not be construed as an expression of opinion on the facts of the case. Therefore, trial Court is expected to decide the case by taking an independent view, on the basis of evidence available on record, as expeditously as possible, in accordance with law. 11. Petition stands disposed of.
