body2018
JUDGMENT : MAHABIR SINGH SINDHU, J. This petition has been filed by the petitioner under Section 439 of the Criminal Procedure Code ('Cr.P.C.' - for short) for grant of regular bail in FIR No.45 dated 16.1.2018 under Section 342, 384, 379-B, 394 of the Indian Penal Code ('IPC' - for short) registered at Police Station Jhajjar, District Jhajjar. 2. It is contended by learned counsel for the petitioner that the allegations against the petitioner are similar to co-accused Manju who has already been granted bail on 13.3.2018 by this Court in CRM-M-7483-2018. 3. This fact has been acknowledged by learned State counsel on instructions from ASI Ramesh Kumar and further submitted that report under Section 173 of the Criminal Procedure Code ('Cr.P.C.' - for short) has been submitted, but charges are yet to be framed. 4. After hearing rival contentions of learned counsel for the parties and going through the paper-book, I am of the view that it would be just and appropriate if the concession of bail is granted to the petitioner. Moreover, the conclusion of trial is likely to take a long time, hence no useful purpose would be served by keeping the petitioner behind the bars any more. Therefore, in view of the abovesaid circumstances, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, this petition is accepted. Petitioner-Savita be admitted to bail on her furnishing bail bonds and surety bonds to the satisfaction of the learned trial Court/Duty Magistrate.
