HARPREET SINGH Vs. STATE OF HARYANA

JUDGEMENT

(1.) PRAYER in this petition filed under Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure is for grant of regular bail in case FIR No. 560 dated 7.12.2005 registered under Sections 420, 467, 468, 471, 120-B of the IPC, at Police Station City, Jagadhri, District Yamunagar.

(2.) COUNSEL for the petitioner contends that a perusal of the FIR does not disclose the petitioner's name, in fact, no role whatsoever has been assigned to the petitioner. The petitioner has been arrested, on the sole ground that he had obtained copies of the revenue record from the Patwari for the purpose of getting a mutation sanctioned. It is contended that as the challan has been presented and the prosecution has cited 21 witnesses, the trial is likely to be protracted and therefore, the petitioner be released on bail.

(3.) I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the paper book.
