IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH ***** CRM-M-28783 of 2011 (O&M) Date of Decision:27.09.2011 Balram @ Ganju . . .Petitioner Versus State of Punjab . . . Respondent ***** CORAM: HON’BLE MR.JUSTICE RAKESH KUMAR JAIN ***** Present: Mr.G.S. Nagpal, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr.K.D. Sachdeva, Addl. A.G. Punjab. ***** RAKESH KUMAR JAIN, J. (ORAL) Petitioner has prayed for pre-arrest bail in a case registered vide FIR No.59 dated 12.7.2011 under Sections 379 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860 (for short ‘IPC’) at Police Station Balachaur, District S.B.S. Nagar. There was a theft of 32 boring pipes of the department of sanitation on 20/21.6.2011. Learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that he has been named out of suspicion though he is not involved in the crime. Learned counsel for the respondent/State has submitted that five persons were named out of whom four have been arrested and out of 32 boring pipes 20 pipes have already been recovered from them. Therefore, it is submitted that custodial interrogation of the petitioner is necessary without protection of bail for the purpose of recovery of the rest of the boring pipes. Keeping in view the facts and circumstances of the case, I do not find it to be a fit case for grant of anticipatory bail. Hence, the present petition is hereby dismissed.
