Crl. Misc. No. M –12763 of 2010 (O&M) -1- IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH -.- Crl. Misc. No. M –12763 of 2010 (O&M) Date of decision:-16.8.2010 Raju Singh ... Petitioner Versus State of Punjab ... Respondent CORAM:- HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE GURDEV SINGH Present:- Mr. C.S.Bakshi, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr. A.S.Brar, Sr. DAG, Punjab. Gurdev Singh, J (oral) Heard. This petition has been filed by Raju Singh- petitioner under Section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure for the grant of anticipatory bail in case FIR No.38 dated 2.6.2009, registered under Sections 457, 380, 436, 148 and 149 IPC, in Police Station Barnala, District Barnala. He was allowed the benefit of interim anticipatory bail by this Court on 11.5.2010 and one of the conditions imposed upon him at that time was that he shall make himself available for interrogation before the Investigating Officer, as and when required. When the matter was taken up on 21.7.2010, it was submitted by learned State counsel that the petitioner never turned up to join the investigation in spite of the fact that he was asked to do so. A specific direction was given to him to appear before the Investigating Officer on 3.8.2010. It has been submitted by learned State counsel that the petitioner never turned up to join the investigation on the said date and that the report Crl. Misc. No. M –12763 of 2010 (O&M) -2- was duly recorded in the DDR at Sr. No.10 and that thereafter notice was also issued under Section 160 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, asking the petitioner to appear before the Investigating Officer, which was duly served through his wife and in spite of that, he never turned up. This shows that the petitioner did not comply with one of the conditions which was imposed while granting interim anticipatory bail to him. Therefore the petitioner has made himself dis-entitled to the grant of anticipatory bail. This petition is dismissed accordingly. August 16, 2010 (Gurdev Singh) tripti Judge
