Cr.Misc. M 18172 of 2010 1 IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATES OF PUNJAB AND HARYNA AT CHANDIGARH. Cr.Misc. M 18172 of 2010 Date of decision:18.8.2010 Sahib Din Petitioner vs. State of Punjab Respondent Present: Mr.Berjeshwar Jaswal, Advocate. Mr. Ps Bajwa, DAG, Pb M.M.S.BEDI,J. The petitioner apprehends arrest in a case, registered on the basis of a secret information that Mohd. Ayasin son of the petitioner and the petitioner are owners of Noor Dhaba, Gt Road, Libra and Kaim Din son of Roshan Khan are habitual of receiving stolen iron from the truck drivers and store it in a godown behind the Noor Dhaba. There was a specific secret information received that son of the petitioner on his vehicle Bolero PB-30 AF 8971 along with truck No. PB 11 AM 5973, in which iron was loaded from Mandi Gobindgarh was coming to Noor Dhaba. After removal of the iron, the weight would be compensated by substituting bajri in place or iron. The raid was conducted and the recovery was effected. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has been falsely implicated in the case and that the petitioner is himself running the business of iron merchant under the name and style of Rajdhani Feed, G.T. Road. and he is the sole proprietor of the said firm. He is also owner of Noor Dhaba, which has been given to Kaim Din on rent and the said dhaba is soley run of Kaim Din. Learned State counsel informs that the petitioner is involved in Cr.Misc. M 18172 of 2010 2 5 similar theft cases. He is also involved in a case of Excise Act. Taking into consideration the facts and circumstances of this case that the petitioner is involved in more than one case, it will not be expedient in the interest of justice to exercise extra- ordinary jurisdiction for grant of pre- arrest bail to the petitioner. The petitioner is required for thorough interrogation. Grant of pre-arrest bail would certainly hamper the just and fair investigation. Dismissed. Anything said in the order will not prejudice the right of the petitioner to seek the concession of regular bail. August 18 ,2010 ( M.M.S.BEDI ) TSM JUDGE
