IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Criminal Misc. No. M-33678 of 2011 Date of decision : November 28, 2011 Sandeep Singh ....Petitioner versus State of Punjab ....Respondent Coram: Hon'ble Mr. Justice L.N. Mittal Present : Mr. Anil Chawla, Advocate, for the petitioner Mr. Shailesh Gupta, DAG Punjab L.N. Mittal, J. (Oral) Accused Sandeep Singh has filed this petition for anticipatory bail in case FIR No. 35 dated 24.5.2011, under sections 323, 324, 148, 149 IPC and section 326 IPC (added later on), registered at Police Station Kambo, District Amritsar. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the case file. Learned State counsel, on instructions from ASI Gulshan Lal, stated that grievous hurt with sharp weapon falling within the purview of section 326 IPC is not attributed to the petitioner but is attributed to his co- accused. It is also stated that only complaint of pain i.e. simple hurt with blunt weapon falling within the purview of section 323 IPC only is attributed to the present petitioner. It is further stated that it is case of Criminal Misc. No. M-33678 of 2011 -2- version and cross-version and two persons from the side of the petitioner also suffered grievous hurt with sharp weapon falling within the purview of section 326 IPC. Keeping in view the aforesaid but without meaning to express any opinion on the merits of the case, I find it to be a fit case to extend the concession of anticipatory bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, the instant petition for anticipatory bail is allowed. In the event of arrest, the petitioner shall be released on bail to the satisfaction of the Arresting Officer subject to the conditions specified in section 438 (2) Cr.P.C. The petitioner shall join the investigation as and when required by the police. Presently, the petitioner is directed to join investigation on 6.12.2011 at 10.00 AM and continue to do so as and when required by the police. ( L.N. Mittal ) November 28, 2011 Judge 'dalbir'
