Crl. Misc. No. M-23877 of 2010 1 IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATES OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. Crl. Misc. No. M-23877 of 2010 (O&M) Date of decision : 12.7.2011 Balkar Singh & others ...Petitioners Versus State of Punjab ...Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJAN GUPTA Present: Mr. A.S. Khinda, Advocate for the petitioners. Mr. Kartar Singh, Dy. Advocate General, Haryana. Mr. Ashok Giri, Advocate for the complainant. Rajan Gupta, J. (oral) This is a petition under Section 438 Cr.P.C. seeking pre- arrest bail in a case registered against the petitioners under Sections 353, 186, 332, 323, 506 read with Section 34 IPC at Police Station Lohian Khas, District Jalandhar, vide FIR No.74 dated 30th July, 2010. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that from the allegations levelled in the FIR, no offence is made out and since the petitioners are ready to cooperate with the investigating agency, they are entitled to the concession of pre-arrest bail. Learned State counsel has, however, opposed the prayer. He submits that the petitioners assaulted a doctor posted in Civil Hospital, Lohian. According to him, the doctor was on duty when he was attacked by the petitioners. He has also referred to the affidavit filed by Mandeep Singh, Dy. Superintendent of Police, Jalandhar Rural, Crl. Misc. No. M-23877 of 2010 2 and submits that during inquiry it was found that the petitioners were threatening the complainant through a person closed to them, namely Mukhtiar Singh. In the facts and circumstances of the case, I am of the considered view that the petitioners are not entitled to the concession of pre-arrest bail. The prayer of pre-arrest bail is, thus, rejected. However, in case the petitioners surrender before the trial court within ten days from today and apply for regular bail, their plea shall be decided within two days thereafter.
