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.0865 dated 10.12.2023 registered under Sections 323, 324, 34, 506 of IPC, later on added Sections 326, 307 of IPC, at Police Station Urban Estate Hisar, District Hisar. 2. The FIR in the present case was registered on the basis of the statement made by Sikandar Singh son of Ram Kirpal. As per the allegations levelled by the complainant, Raman, co-accused had caught hold of Sikandar Singh, whereas, the injuries were caused to him by the petitioner with knife. He further contends that in fact, the injured had left the hospital against medical advise and later on, medical evidence was manipulated by the complainant side. The petitioner was arrested in the present case on 08.01.2024 and is in custody for the last 01 year and 06 months. After completion of investigation, challan was presented against him. Now, only three witnesses have been examined by HEMLATA 2025.07.13 22:52 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document CRM-M-32862-2025 -2- the prosecution and further custody of the petitioner will not serve any meaningful purpose. 3. On the other hand, learned State counsel has vehemently opposed the submissions made by learned counsel for the petitioner on the ground that four more cases were ordered to be registered against the petitioner. However, he admits that the petitioner is on bail in the said cases. 4. I have heard the learned counsel for the parties and perused the record. 5. In the present case, the prosecution has been able to examine only three witnesses so far and the trial is not likely to conclude in near future. The injured has already been discharged from the hospital. From a perusal of Annexure P-3, it is apparent that Raman, co-accused has already been admitted to bail by this Court, vide order dated 10.12.2024 passed in CRM-M-33884- 2024. 6.
