IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Crl.Misc. No.15309-M of 2007 Date of Decision:- 14.03.2007 Sandeep Singh @ Sahbi ....Petitioner(s) through Mr.A.S.Kalra, Advocate vs. State of Punjab ....Respondent(s) through Mr.B.S.Baath, AAG, Punjab. *** CORAM:-HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE SURYA KANT. *** 1) Whether Reporters of the 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. The prayer in this petition is to grant pre-arrest bail to the petitioner in case F.I.R.No.11 dated 29.1.2007 under Sections 452, 326, 324, 34 IPC registered at Police Station Sri Hargobindpur, Tehsil Batala, District Gurdaspur. As per the allegations, the petitioner along with one of his co- accused armed with Datars i.e. a sharp edged weapon, attacked the complainant. From the injuries attributed to the petitioner as well as his co- accused, namely, Randeep Singh @ Keepa, it transpires that the complainant-injured, suffered the same on his fingers/hand in order to save his other vital parts. Incidentally, the injured-complainant is present in Court along with the Investigating Officer. If one sees the injuries suffered by him with a lay-man's eye, which he claims to have suffered at the hands of the Crl.Misc. No.15309-M of 2007 -2- petitioner and his co-accused, it appears that it is not a fit case to grant the concession and discretionary relief of pre-arrest bail. That apart, the weapon of offence is yet to be recovered. The petitioner, thus, is required to be subjected to custodial interrogation. The request for pre-arrest bail is declined. Dismissed.
