HARSIMRAN SINGH SETHI
Shivam Singh – Appellant
Versus
State of Haryana – Respondent
Judgment
Mr. Harsimran Singh Sethi, J.
Present petition has been filed under Section 439 Cr.P.C. for the grant of regular bail to the petitioner in respect of FIR No.27 dated 08.05.2021 registered under Sections 420, 467, 468, 471 and 120-B of the IPC and Sections 66 & 66-D of the Information Technology Act at Police Station Cyber Crime, Gurugram, Haryana.
2. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits total 09 accused were roped in the present FIR, out of whom, 06 accused are already on bail and anticipatory bail application of one of the accused is already under consideration before this Court and one of the accused is yet to be arrested. Learned counsel for the petitioner argues that the allegations, which have been alleged against the petitioner are yet to be proved and the investigation is already over and charges have already been framed.
3. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that in the challan, total 27 witnesses have been cited and not even a single witness has been examined so far and as the trial is likely to take some time before it is concluded, no useful purpose will be served by keeping the petitioner behind the bars during the entire period of trial hence, the pe
Allegations alone do not justify bail denial; factors like trial delay and lack of witness examination support granting bail.
The court grants regular bail due to prolonged custody and absence of supporting witness testimony, emphasizing parity with a co-accused granted bail.
Grant of regular bail based on completion of investigation, interim relief granted by the Hon'ble Supreme Court of India, and petitioner's undertaking not to influence the trial or abscond.
