Crl.Misc.No.M-23741 of 2011 Lakhwinder Singh versus State of Punjab Present: Mr.B.S.Jaswal, Advocate for the petitioner Mr.K.S.Sidhu, DAG Punjab **** Petitioner seeks the concession of pre-arrest bail in case FIR No.282 dated 18.11.2010 under Sections 382/34 IPC at Police Station Sadar, District Amritsar. Complainant was robbed of a sum of ` 5,25,000/- withdrawn by him from the bank. Sunil Kumar, Surjit Singh and Gurdit Singh had been arrested in the case, but the petitioner has been named as a co-accused at the instance of Gurdit Singh-non-petitioner. Statement of Gurdit Singh was recorded on 14th July, 2011. Counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is under investigation and he has been arrayed as an accused on the basis of the statement of his co-accused. I have considered the contention of the learned counsel for the petitioner and I am of the opinion that it will be pre-mature to form any opinion regarding the petitioner having participated in the event of extortion of money from the complainant. Even otherwise, the petitioner is involved in another case under Section 302 IPC and now he is in judicial custody. In view of the said circumstances, no ground is made out to grant the pre-arrest bail. Interim order dated August 08, 2011 is hereby vacated. Petition is dismissed without any prejudice to the rights of the petitioner to seek concession of regular bail in accordance with law. 23.09.2011 (M.M.S.BEDI) neenu JUDGE
