JUDGMENT : T.P.S. Mann, J. The petitioners have filed the present petition for grant of bail during the pendency of the trial of the case emanating from FIR No. 270 dated 11.7.2012 under Sections 302/34 IPC registered at Police Station Ganaur, District Sonepat. 2. Earlier to filing the present petition, Sonu @ Sandeep-petitioner had moved this Court for the grant of regular bail but the said application was dismissed as having been withdrawn on 11.11.2013. However, qua Pardeep-petitioner it is the first application. 3. As per the prosecution, Sonu @ Sandeep-petitioner was said to have taken Randhir Singh in his grip, while Pardeep-petitioner, along with Pawan had caused injuries to Randhir Singh and Inder as a result of which they had died. 4. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that during the investigation of the case, both the petitioners were found innocent. Their names were placed in column No.2 of the challan, which was presented only against Pawan. Subsequently, when the statements of complainant Balbir and Bani Singh were recorded, an application was moved by the prosecution under Section 319 Cr.P.C., pursuant to which, both the petitioners were summoned as additional accused. 5. Learned State counsel has opposed the prayer by submitting that the case involves the commission of double murder and Pardeep-petitioner, along with his co-accused Pawan had given injuries with bricks and stones to the two deceased persons. 6. The trial of the case is likely to take a long time. No useful purpose would be served by keeping the petitioners behind the bars. 7. Resultantly, the petition is accepted. Bail to the satisfaction of Chief Judicial Magistrate/Duty Magistrate, Sonepat.
