CRM-M No.13571 of 2011 (O&M) - 1- IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH CRM-M No.13571 of 2011 (O&M) Date of Decision : 29.08.2011 Kuldeep Singh and others …Petitioners Versus State of Punjab and another …Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE AJAY TEWARI -.- Present: Mr. Nand Lal Sammi, Advocate for the petitioners. Mr. S.S. Gill, D.A.G., Punjab. Mr. Vipul Dharmani, Advocate for the respondent No.2. *** AJAY TEWARI, J. (ORAL) This petition has been filed under Section 438 Cr.P.C. for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioners in Complaint Case No.58 dated 13.09.2008 for the offences under Sections 406, 420, 452, 323, 506, 34 and 120-B IPC. CRM-M No.13571 of 2011 (O&M) - 2- Learned counsel for the petitioners has argued that pursuant to the interim order of the learned Sessions Judge, Ropar the petitioners appeared before the learned trial Court and were released on interim bail. Thereafter they have regularly been appearing before the learned trial Court and therefore no purpose would be now served in declining the application for bail. Learned counsel for the respondent No.2 has accepted the factual assertion that after the interim bail was granted by the learned Sessions Judge, Ropar the petitioners have been appearing regularly. However, he has drawn the attention of this Court to the order declining the prayer for anticipatory bail and has argued that the petitioners do not deserve the concession of anticipatory bail. Once the petitioners are granted the concession of interim bail and they have been appearing regularly before the learned trial Court, in the opinion of this Court, it would be in the interest of justice to allow the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioners. Consequently, the petition is allowed. Learned trial Court is directed to confirm the bail granted to the petitioners to its satisfaction.
