Respondent CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE N.S.SHEKHAWAT Present : Mr. Saurabh Chobey, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Rajiv Sidhu, Sr. DAG, Haryana N.S.SHEKHAWAT , J. (Oral) 1. The petitioner has filed the present first petition under Section 483 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023, for grant of regular bail in case FIR No. 17 dated 07.02.2026 (Annexure P-1), registered under Sections 115(2), 117(2), 118(1), 118(2), 215, 238(B), 333, 351(3) and 3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 (corresponding to Sections 323, 325, 324, 326, 180, 201, 452, 506 and 34 IPC, 1860, at Police Station Satnali, District Mahendergarh, Haryana. (Sections 117(2), 118(2), 215 and 238(B) of the BNS, 2023, AMIT RANA 2026.08.27 15:44 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document CRM-M-47310-2026 -2- corresponding to Sections 325, 326, 180 and 201 IPC, 1860 added later on). 2. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has been falsely involved in the present case along with other family members. In fact, the allegations levelled by the complainant are highly improbable and unbelievable and no specific injury/role has been attributed to the petitioner. He further submits that the injured, namely, Jaipal, has already been discharged from the hospital and is hale and hearty. Vikram, co-accused of the petitioner, was arrested on 11.04.2026 and an axe has already been recovered from him. Even Sumit, co-accused, was arrested by the police on 19.06.2026. Learned counsel further submits that after completion of investigation, challan has already been presented against the petitioner. However, the trial has not even formally commenced and out of total 16 witnesses cited by the prosecution, no witness has been examined so far and conclusion of the trial may take quite a long time. 3. On the other hand, learned State counsel has vehemently opposed the prayer made by the learned counsel for the petitioner on the ground that there are serious allegations against the petitioner and the petitioner is not entitled for the concession of regular bail. 4. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the record. AMIT RANA 2026.08.27 15:44 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document CRM-M-47310-2026 -3- 5. In the present case, the petitioner is stated to be in custody for the last two months and challan has already been presented against the petitioner after completion of investigation. Even her two co-accused, namely Vikram and Sumit, have already been arrested by the police. The petitioner is a lady and also deserves sympathetic consideration by this Court. 6. In view of the above, without commenting any further on the merits, the present petition is allowed and the petitioner is ordered to be released on bail on his furnishing bail bonds/surety bonds to the satisfaction of the learned trial Court/Duty Magistrate/CJM concerned. 27.08.2026 (N.S.SHEKHAWAT) amit rana JUDGE Whether reasoned/speaking : Yes/No Whether reportable : Yes/No AMIT RANA 2026.08.27 15:44 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document
