Petitioner Versus State of Haryana ...Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE JASJIT SINGH BEDI Present: Mr. Rakesh Dhiman, Advocate for the petitioner(s). Mr. T.P. Singh, Sr. DAG, Haryana. **** JASJIT SINGH BEDI, J. The prayer in the present petition under Section 483 BNSS is for the grant of regular bail in case bearing FIR No.54 dated 01.03.2026 under Sections 109(1) (Section 307 of IPC), 3(5) (Section 34 of IPC) and 351(3) (Section 506 of the IPC) of BNS, 2023 registered at Police Station Badli, District Jhajjar, Haryana. 2. The learned counsel for the petitioner contends that as per the FIR, one Anil @ Dhaba was the main accused having inflicted the injury on the neck of the injured-Sombir. Anil @ Dhaba has been granted the concession of anticipatory bail. However, during the course of the investigation itself, the prosecution changed its version stating that it was the petitioner who had inflicted the said injury on the neck of the injured. As the petitioner is in custody since 06.03.2026 but none of the 18 prosecution witnesses has been examined so far, the Trial of the present case is not likely VISHAL SETHI 2026.07.14 17:58 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document CRM-M-25231-2026 (O & M) ::2:: to be concluded anytime soon and therefore, he is entitled to the concession of bail. 3. The learned counsel for the State, on the other hand contends that the allegations levelled against the petitioner are grave and it has been conclusively found during the course of the investigation that he is the main accused. Therefore, the petitioner is not entitled to the concession as prayed for. He, however, concedes that the petitioner is in custody since 06.03.2026 but none of the 18 prosecution witnesses has been examined so far. 4. I have heard the learned counsel for the parties. 5. The veracity of the prosecution case against the petitioner and his co-accused shall be adjudicated upon during the course of the Trial. Admittedly, the petitioner is in custody since 06.03.2026 but none of the 18 prosecution witnesses has been examined so far. Therefore, the Trial in the present case is not likely to be concluded anytime soon. In this situation, the further incarceration of the petitioner is not required. 6. Thus without commenting on the merits of the case, the present petition is allowed and the petitioner-Rajbir @ Patta is ordered to be released on bail subject to his furnishing bail bonds and surety bonds to the satisfaction of learned CJM/Duty Magistrate, concerned. 7. The petition stands disposed of.
