IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Criminal Misc. No. M-17810 of 2009 Date of decision : July 31, 2009 Balwinder alias Gugg ....Petitioner versus State of Punjab ....Respondent Coram: Hon'ble Mr. Justice L.N. Mittal Present : Mr. GBS Dhillon, Advocate, for the petitioner Mr. Gaurav Garg Dhuriwala, AAG Punjab with Mr. Anurag Chopra, Advocate, for the complainant L.N. Mittal, J. (Oral) Balwinder alias Gugg has filed this petition for anticipatory bail in case FIR No.101 dated 20.6.2009, under sections 307, 148, 149 IPC and section 25 of the Arms Act, Police Station Sidhwan Bet, Police District Rural Ludhiana. According to the prosecution version, petitioner and his two co- accused fired a shot each from their gun with an intention to kill complainant who was on the roof of his house and the shots hit the wall of the house. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the case file. Criminal Misc. No. M-17810 of 2009 -2- Learned counsel for the petitioner vehemently contended that nobody was injured in the alleged firing and the instant case is result of political vendetta. Learned State counsel on the other hand contended that marks on the wall caused by the firing of the petitioner and his co-accused prima facie support the prosecution version. Keeping in view all the circumstances but without meaning to express any opinion on the merits, I do not find it to be a fit case for releasing the petitioner on anticipatory bail. The petition is accordingly dismissed. ( L.N. Mittal ) July 31, 2009 Judge 'dalbir'
