JUDGMENT Ms. Jaishree Thakur, J. (Oral):- The instant petition has been filed under Section 439 Cr.P.C.for grant of regular bail to the petitioner in case FIR No.385 dated18.07.2017, under Sections 363, 366-A, 120-B of Indian Penal Code andSection 4 of POCSO Act, registered at Police Station Yamuna Nagar City,District Yamuna Nagar. 2. Learned counsel for the petitioner would contend that a readingof the statement of the prosecutrix recorded under Section 164 Cr.P.C.would reflect that niece of the complainant had voluntarily left herresidential home and she wanted to get married to the petitioner. Even inthe statement that has been recorded before the court, she has categoricallystated that she had left her home voluntarily and afterwards had called thepetitioner and thereafter went to Haridwar and solemnize a marriage there.It is argued that statement of the prosecutrix has been recorded and trial islikely to take some time to conclude, therefore, the petitioner is entitled tobe enlarged on bail. 3. Per contra, learned counsel appearing on behalf of respondent-State, on instructions from the Investigating Officer, opposes the grant ofregular bail, while submitting that the offences alleged against the petitionerare serious in nature. 4. I have heard learned counsel for the parties. 5. Since, the trial is likely to take some time and in view of thefact that statement of the prosecutrix has been recorded, no useful purposewould be served in keeping the petitioner behind bars. At this stage, without commenting on the merits of the case, the instant petition is allowed and the petitioner is directed to be released on regular bail on execution ofadequate personal bond and surety bond to the satisfaction of concernedtrial Court/Duty Magistrate.
