Crl. Misc. No. M-20507 of 2010 [1] IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. Crl. Misc. No. M-20507 of 2010 Date of Decision: July 20, 2010 Baljit Singh and another …..Petitioners Vs. State of Punjab …..Respondent CORAM: HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE M.M.S. BEDI. -.- Present:- Mr.Ritesh Pandey, Advocate for the petitioners. -.- M.M.S. BEDI, J. (ORAL) Petitioner No.1 is alleged to have inflicted a datar bow on the right elbow of complainant-Jatinder Singh resulting in a grievous injury whereas petitioner No.2 is alleged to have, being member of an unlawful assembly; attributed a simple injury with datar on the eye-brow of the complainant. Counsel for the petitioners has vehemently contended that the petitioners have been falsely implicated and that they did not have any cause Crl. Misc. No. M-20507 of 2010 [2] to attack the complainant whereas the complainant party had actually attacked the petitioners. Injuries, if any, attributed to the petitioners could be only in self-defence. It has further been argued that petitioner No.1 is a juvenile entitled to the benefit of provisions of The Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2000. After hearing counsel for the petitioners and considering all the contentions, I am of the opinion that petitioner No.1 being a juvenile may avail the benefit under Section 12 of the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2000 while seeking relief under Section 439 Cr.P.C. Similarly, petitioner No.2 who was armed with datar, being member of an unlawful assembly having been attributed injury with datar on the person of complainant also is not entitled to the concession of pre-arrest bail. No extraordinary exceptional circumstances exist to grant the concession of pre-arrest bail to the petitioners. Dismissed. All the pleas raised will be available to the petitioners for seeking concession of regular bail. July 20, 2010 (M.M.S.BEDI) sanjay JUDGE
