IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Criminal Misc.No.M-15018 of 2011 (O&M) Date of Decision : May 19, 2011. Santokh Singh and another .....Petitioners versus State of Punjab .....Respondent CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE SURYA KANT. Present : Mr.JBS Gill, Advocate, for the petitioners. -.- 1. Whether Reporters of Local papers may be allowed to see the judgment? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? --- Surya Kant, J. (Oral) The petitioners seek pre-arrest bail in case FIR No.23 dated 2.3.2011 registered at Police Station Modal Town, Hoshiarpur under Sections 363, 366-A, 120-B IPC. The petitioners are the parents of Monu, who, as per the allegations contained in the FIR, has abducted the minor daughter of the complainant. The fact that the girl is minor is hardly in dispute. Petitioner No.1 is working in Punjab Police. Their son could not have dared to abduct the minor girl without direct/indirect support of the petitioners. In any case, the presence of petitioner No.1 with liberty against arrest is likely to Crl.Misc.No.15018 of 2011 (O&M) [2] influence and/or hamper the investigation. The minor girl is yet to be recovered. In these circumstances, I do not find it a fit case to grant pre- arrest bail to the petitioners. Dismissed. May 19, 2011 (SURYA KANT) Mohinder JUDGE
