PETITIONER VERSUS STATE OF HARYANA ...RESPONDENT CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE JASJIT SINGH BEDI Present: Mr. Kamal Chaudhary, Advocate for the petitioner. Ms. Diya Sodhi, Sr. DAG, Haryana. Ms. Anjali Chaudhary, Advocate for the complainant. **** JASJIT SINGH BEDI, J. The prayer in the present petition under Section 483 BNSS (corresponding to Section 439 Cr.P.C.) is for the grant of regular bail in case bearing FIR No.533 dated 29.12.2025 registered under Sections 419, 420, 467, 468 and 471 of IPC (Sections 319(2), 318(4), 338, 336(3) and 340(2) of BNS), at Police Station Sector-8, District Faridabad. 2. The learned counsel for the petitioner contends that a settlement has been arrived at between the parties. As the petitioner is in custody since 10.02.2026 but none of the 27 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. 3. The learned counsel for the State submits that though a settlement has been arrived at between the parties, the allegations levelled against the petitioner are grave in nature, and therefore, he is not entitled to the concession of bail. She, however, concedes that a settlement has been KUSUM 2026.07.27 15:45 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document PHHC Chandigarh CRM-M-39874-2026 2 arrived at between the parties, that the petitioner is in custody since 10.02.2026 and that none of the 27 prosecution witnesses has been examined so far. 5. The learned counsel for the complainant does not dispute the fact that a settlement has been arrived at between the parties and states that the complainant has no objection, if the petitioner is granted the concession of bail. 6. I have heard the learned counsel for the parties. 7. Admittedly, the parties have entered into a settlement. As the petitioner is in custody since 10.02.2026 but none of the 27 prosecution witnesses has been examined so far, the Trial of the present case is not likely to be concluded anytime soon. In this situation, the further incarceration of the petitioner is not required. 8. Thus, without commenting upon the merits of the case, the present petition is allowed and the petitioner, namely, Vijay Veer S/o Ram Prasad is ordered to be released on bail to the satisfaction of the Trial Court/Duty Magistrate concerned upon furnishing fresh bail bonds/surety bonds. 9. The petition stands disposed of.
