Respondent *** CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE AJAY TEWARI *** Present : Mr. R.S.Bains, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. S.S.Gill, DAG Punjab *** 1. Whether Reporters of Local Newspapers may be allowed to see the judgment ? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not ? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest ? *** AJAY TEWARI, J (Oral) The petitioner seeks grant of anticipatory bail in cross case DDR No.51, dated 12.5.2011 lodged under Sections 307, 148, 149 of the IPC read with Sections 25/27/54/59 of the Arms Act, in FIR No.174, dated 11.5.2011, registered under Sections 307, 323, 447, 511, 148, 149 of the IPC read with Section 25/54/59 of the Arms Act at Police Station Tripri, Patiala. Counsel for the petitioner has argued that the petitioner was in possession of the land and it was the complainant side who had come to take possession forcibly. He further states that the father of the petitioner has suffered 27 injuries and he did fire a shot in self defence and it caused 2/3 pellet injuries to one Sukhi of the other side. As per him, the petitioner did not possess any weapon because the only licenced weapon has been CRM- M 32018 of 2011 ::2:: recovered from the father of the petitioner. Counsel for the respondent, on instructions from HC Bachhittar Singh, has accepted the fact that the father of the petitioner was in settled possession and the dispute arose because the other party tried to take possession of the land on the ground that they had purchased it even though civil litigation is pending between the parties. He has, however, denied the fact that the petitioner has been falsely implicated. In my considered opinion, without going into the merits of the case, it would be appropriate to grant the concession of anticipatory bail to the petitioner. Consequently, the petitioner is directed to appear before the Investigating Officer on 10.12.2011 or on any other day on which he requires the presence of the petitioner, and in the event of his appearance, the petitioner shall be released on anticipatory bail by the Investigating Officer to his satisfaction subject to the conditions as laid down in Section 438(2) of the Cr.P.C.
