This is a petition under Section 439 Cr.PC seeking regular bail
in a case registered against the petitioner under Sections 365/384/342/170 &
506 IPC at police station City Ballabgarh vide FIR No. 562 dated
22-9-2009.
Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that there is a delay
of 7 days in lodging the FIR. According to him, petitioner is in custody
since 23-9-2009 and the case is triable by the Magistrate. Counsel submits
that no useful purpose would be served by detaining the petitioner in
custody during trial.
Prayer for bail is opposed by learned State counsel on the
ground that the allegations are serious in nature.
I have heard learned counsel for the parties.
Keeping in view the fact that the petitioner has been in custody
for almost two months and the case is triable by the Magistrate, no useful

purpose would be served by detaining him in custody any longer during
trial. Without expressing any opinion on merits of the case, petitioner is
directed to be enlarged on bail to the satisfaction of Chief Judicial
