Petitioner Versus State of Haryana ...Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE JASJIT SINGH BEDI Present: Mr. Samay Singh Sandhawalia, 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.262 dated 20.09.2024 under Sections 302, 201, 328 and 120-B of IPC (Sections 103, 238, 123, 61(2) of BNS) registered at Police Station Chachhrauli, District Yamuna Nagar, Haryana. 2. The learned counsel for the petitioner contends that an identically situated co-accused namely Seema Saini has been granted the concession of bail vide order dated 27.02.2026 passed in CRM-M-25523-2025. As the petitioner is in custody since 09.11.2024 but only 01 of the 36 prosecution witnesses has been examined so far, the Trial of the present case is not likely to be concluded anytime soon and therefore, he is entitled to the concession of bail. VISHAL SETHI 2026.07.17 17:09 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document CRM-M-37705-2026 ::2:: 3. The learned counsel for the State, on the other hand, contends that the role of the petitioner is identical to that of Seema Saini who has already been granted the concession of regular bail. He, however, concedes that the petitioner is in custody since 09.11.2024 but only 01 of the 36 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 09.11.2024 but only 01 of the 36 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-Anil Kumar 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.
