IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. Crl.M.No.M-25165 of 2010 (O&M) Date of Decision: August 30, 2010 Hardeep Singh alias Minta .....Petitioner v. State of Punjab .....Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE RAM CHAND GUPTA Present: Mr.A.S.Khinda, Advocate for the petitioner. ...... RAM CHAND GUPTA, J.(Oral) The present petition filed under Section 438 Cr.P.C. is for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioner in case FIR No.100, dated 18.7.2010, under Section 379 IPC, registered at Police Station Sadar, Gurdaspur. I have heard learned counsel for the petitioner and have gone through the whole record carefully. Brief allegations against the petitioner-accused are that co- accused committed the theft of electric motors owned by different persons. Co-accused Rajbir Singh alias Raju, Manohar Singh, Jaswant Singh, Vicky, and Hira Masih used to steal the electric motors from different places and sell the same to the present petitioner-accused. They have already sold 92 said stolen motors to him. Name of petitioner has been mentioned in the FIR on the basis of secret information. Recovery of those stolen electric motors is to be effected from the accused. Hence, it is not such a case in which extraordinary relief of anticipatory bail should be granted to the petitioner-accused. Rather his custodial interrogation is necessary. Hence, in view of these facts, and without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, the present petition filed by petitioner- Hardeep Singh alias Minta for grant of anticipatory bail is, hereby, dismissed being devoid of any merit. 30.8.2010 (Ram Chand Gupta) meenu Judge
