in question was registered. The allegation was that after forging the Aadhar Card and Pan Card of the complainant, the accused got a loan of Rs.22 lakhs approved from HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank and Axis Bank and the said amount was also transferred to the account of co-accused also named Gurdarshan Singh.
4. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has been falsely implicated. He submits that the petitioner has no role to play; no recovery has been made from the petitioner; petitioner is in custody for the last 3 months and 17 days; investigation stands completed; final report has been submitted; charges are yet to be framed; antecedents of the petitioner are clean; trial will still take a sufficiently long time and no useful purpose would be served by keeping the petitioner in custody any longer.
5. Per contra, learned State counsel has opposed the bail application stating that the offence allegedly committed by the petitioner is serious in nature.
6. I have considered the submissions made by learned counsel for the parties.
7. The matter is based largely upon documentary evidence. As to whether, some forgery was committed or not shall be determined when the trial concludes. As to whether, the petitioner was a part of the conspiracy or not shall also be determined when the trial concludes. Antecedents of the petitioner are clean , investigation stands completed, final report has been submitted, but charges have not yet been framed. Trial will, therefore, take

a sufficiently long time and, therefore, no useful purpose would be served by keeping the petitioner in custody any longer.
8. In view of the aforementioned facts and circumstances, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, the present petition is allowed. The petitioner is ordered to be released on regular bail on his furnishing bail/surety bonds to the satisfaction of the concerned trial Court/Chief Judicial Magistrate/Duty Magistrate.
