Crl. Misc No. M 20801 OF 2011 ****** Piara Singh vs State of Punjab Present : Mr. PKS Phoolka, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. S.S.Gill, AAG Punjab ******* The petitioner seeks grant of anticipatory bail in case FIR No.292, dated 22.5.2006, registered under Sections 457/380 of the IPC, at Police Station Kotwali, District Bathinda. On 13.7.2011, the following contention was noticed :- “ Learned counsel states that the petitioner is now being sought to be implicated with regard to an FIR of the year 2006.” Counsel for the respondent, on instructions from ASI Harbans Singh, has accepted this factual assertion as well as the fact that there is no other case registered or pending against the petitioner. In the circumstances, I deem it appropriate to grant the concession of anticipatory bail to the petitioner. Consequently, in the event of his arrest, the petitioner shall be released on anticipatory bail by the Investigating Officer to his satisfaction subject to the conditions as contained in Section 438(2) of the Cr.P.C. Petition stands disposed of. ( AJAY TEWARI ) July 19, 2011. JUDGE `kk'
