Through this petition, the petitioner seeks regular bail in case bearing FIR No.23 dated 30.01.2020 registered under Sections 323, 354, 354-A, 376, 511 and 506 IPC at Police Station Beri, District Jhajjar.
Vide order dated 11.01.2021, this Court had directed the concerned Illaqa/Duty Magistrate to record the statement of the complainant regarding the authenticity of the compromise effected between the petitioner and the complainant, who is the daughter-in-law of the petitioner.
In pursuance of the aforesaid order, Judicial Magistrate 1st Class, Jhajjar, has submitted her report pointing out therein that the statement of the complainant regarding the authenticity of the compromise had been recorded and the complainant was fully satisfied with the said compromise and that she was duly identified by her counsel.
Learned counsel for the petitioner further states that the complainant, who appeared before the trial Court as PW1, has not supported the version of the prosecution and turned hostile. It is further stated that the petitioner has been in custody since 25.07.2020.
Learned State counsel, while opposing the prayer for grant of regular bail, does not dispute the aforesaid facts, as stated by learned counsel for the petitioner.
I have heard learned counsel for the parties.
The petitioner has been in custody since 25.07.2020. Trial of the case would take time to conclude. Therefore, no useful purpose would be served by keeping the petitioner behind the bars.
In view of the above, without commenting anything on the merits, lest it should prejudice the case of either side, the present petition is allowed and the petitioner is ordered to be released on bail on his furnishing bail and surety bonds to the satisfaction of the learned trial Court/Duty Magistrate.
