It is a case of version and cross-version in which the petitioners in Criminal Misc.-M No. 27607 of 2011 are accused in the cross-version recorded on the statement of Massa Singh, whereas petitioners in Criminal Misc.-M No. 27824 of 2011 and Criminal Misc.-M No. 28184 of 2011 are accused in the FIR. Learned counsel for the petitioners in Criminal Misc.-M No. 27607 of 2011 submitted that no specific injury has been attributed to the petitioners. The matter in dispute has now been compromised as all the persons involved are residents of the same village. In other two petitions as well, the submission is on the same line. Petitioner-Massa Singh is stated to be in custody since 15.7.2011. Learned counsel for the State, on instructions from ASI - Ram Singh submitted that a panchayati compromise entered into between the parties has been handed over by them to the Investigating Officer. After hearing learned counsel for the parties and considering the aforesaid facts, in my opinion, the petitioners in Criminal Misc.-M No. 27607 and Criminal Misc.-M No. 27824 of 2011 are not required to be taken into custody for interrogation and petitioner-Massa Singh in Criminal Misc.-M No. 28184 of 2011 deserves concession of bail. Petitioners-Satnam Singh and Avtar Singh (Criminal Misc.-M No. 27607 of 2011) and petitioner-Prem Singh (Criminal Misc.-M No. 27824 of 2011) are directed to appear before the Investigating Officer on 22.10.2011 at 10.00 AM for joining investigation.
