Crl. Misc No. M 20849 OF 2011 ****** Vidya and others vs State of Punjab Present : Mr. R.S.Bajaj, Advocate for the petitioners. Mr. S.S.Gill, AAG Punjab Mr. Ashok Giri, Advocate for the complainant. ******* The petitioners seek grant of anticipatory bail in case FIR No.70, dated 23.6.2011, registered under Sections 323, 452, 506, 148, 149 of the IPC, at Police Station Goraya, District Jalandhar. On 19.7.2011, the following order was passed :- “The petitioners seek grant of anticipatory bail. On 13.7.2011, the following contention was noticed :- `Learned counsel has argued that the present FIR is a counter blast to the complaint filed by the petitioners against the complainant and no action has been taken on their complaint while Section 452 IPC has been added to give it the colour of non-bailable offence.' Counsel for the complainant has, however, brought to the notice of this Court that the petitioners had inflicted 19 injuries on the complainant party and among them petitioner No.2 was the most guilty. Counsel for the petitioners has argued that all injuries are simple in nature. Even if the arguments raised by counsel for the petitioners are taken to be true, still keeping in view the entire factual matrix, all the petitioners, especially petitioner No.2 does not deserve the concession of anticipatory bail. He should rather surrender before the police. Adjourned to 26.7.2011. Meanwhile, arrest of the petitioners, except petitioner No.2, is stayed.” Today, it has been accepted by counsel for the State of Punjab, Crl.Misc No. M 20849 of 2011 :2: as also counsel for the complainant that petitioner No.2 has died in a road accident, where petitioner No.1 is also hospitalized. In this view of the matter, this petition qua petitioner No.2 is dismissed as having been rendered infructuous. As regards the remaining petitioners, they are directed to appear before the Investigating Officer on 29.8.2011 and on any other day on which the Investigating Officer requires their presence, and in the event of their appearance, they shall be released on anticipatory bail by the Investigating Officer to his satisfaction subject to the conditions as laid down in Section 438(2) of the Cr.P.C. Petition stands disposed of. ( AJAY TEWARI ) July 26, 2011. JUDGE `kk'
