Judgment S. S. Saron, J. 1. This is a petition for grant of regular bail. Learned Counsel for the petitioner states that the petitioner has been in custody since 10/12/2002 and no trial has been carried out so far as there is no Presiding Officer of the Court at Mukatsar. He further states that a reading of the FIR shows that the complainant has alleged that his daughter was beaten 2/3 months after her marriage and she returned to her parental home. Thereafter, she was sent back to her matrimonial home although she came back thrice. However, she died three years thereafter. 2. Mr. Grewal, learned State Counsel and Mr. Surinder Garg, learned Counsel for the complainant respectively have opposed the grant of bail and contended that the petitioner had harassed the daughter of the complainant and thereby abetted her to commit suicide. 3. Learned Counsel for the complainant has stated that the police has not recorded the FIR correctly and, therefore, he has filed a criminal complaint and in these circumstances, the petitioner is not entitled to the concession of bail. 4. I have given my thoughtful consideration to the respective contentions raised by the Counsel for the parties. It is appropriate to note that there is nothing prima facie to show as to what happened on the date of occurrence which is the material date for recording a finding on the question of abetment. Even otherwise, the petitioner has been in custody for the last more than one year and trial is not progressing. Without commenting anything further lest it may prejudice the case of either of the parties, the petitioner shall be admitted to bail on his furnishing personal bonds and surety in the like amount to the satisfaction of the learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Mukatsar. 5. Nothing stated herein shall be taken as an expression of any opinion on the merits of the controversy and the Trial Court shall decide the case uninfluenced by this order. Petition allowed.
