Criminal Misc.-M No. 26901 of 2011 [1] IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Criminal Misc.-M No. 26901 of 2011 (O&M) Date of decision: 14.9.2011 Gurdev Singh .. Petitioner Vs. The State of Punjab .. Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJESH BINDAL Present: Mr. B. S. Sidhu, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. P. S. Bajwa, Deputy Advocate General, Punjab. Mr. S. S. Sidhu, Advocate for the complainant. ... Rajesh Bindal J. Prayer in the present petition is for grant of pre-arrest bail to the petitioner. Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that Jagdeep Singh, to whom injury under Section 307 IPC is attributed, was arrested earlier. Sahib Singh and Gora Singh, whose pre-arrest bail application was dismissed by this court on 25.8.2011, have also surrendered before the court below. One person, who was not specifically named in the FIR, has also been arrested. The only injuries attributed to the petitioner are on back side of the right hand and right knee and leg with a Dang. The same are found to be simple in nature. On the other hand, learned counsels for the State as well as the complainant submitted that the entire incident is to be viewed as a whole. The accused in the present case had come in a group with deadly weapons to take forcible possession of the land after the civil court had declined interim stay in their favour. There are four injured and total 40 different injuries have been caused to them, some of which were found to be dangerous to life. Considering the seriousness of allegations, the petitioner Criminal Misc.-M No. 26901 of 2011 [2] does not deserve concession of pre-arrest bail, as he was also a member of the unlawful assembly. After hearing learned counsel for the parties and the fact that four persons, to whom grievous injuries have been attributed, have already been arrested and the petitioner has been alleged injuries with a Dang, which were found to be simple in nature and would fall within the domain of Section 325 IPC, in my opinion, he is not required to be taken into custody for interrogation. He shall appear before the Investigating Officer on 24.9.2011 at 10.00 AM. In case of arrest, the petitioner shall be released on furnishing of bail bonds to the satisfaction of the Arresting/Investigating Officer. He shall appear before the Investigating Officer as and when called upon for further investigation. He shall also be bound by all the conditions as contained in Section 438(2) Cr.P.C. The petition stands disposed of. (Rajesh Bindal) Judge 14.9.2011 mk
