No. M-30379 of 2010 (O&M) Date of Decision: October 26, 2010 Raj Kumar @ Binta @ Pinta ........Petitioner Versus State of Punjab ........Respondent ****** CORAM : HON'BLE MRS. JUSTICE SABINA Present : Mr. R.S. Ghuman, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr. Amandeep Singh Rai, AAG, Punjab. SABINA, J. Petitioner has filed this petition under Section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure for grant of anticipatory bail in case FIR No.40, dated 8.9.2010, under Sections 341,323,324,506,148,149 of Indian Penal Code (in short 'IPC') (Section 326 IPC added lateron), registered at Police Station Kathgarh, District Sahid Bhagat Singh Nagar. The allegation against the petitioner is that at the time of alleged occurrence he was armed with datar and had inflicted injury on the right leg of the complainant Avtar Lal. The other accused were also armed with weapons and had attacked the complainant as well as the other injured Vipin Kumar. Learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that the petitioner is a young boy and no motive was attributed to the petitioner in Crl. Misc. No. M-30379 of 2010 (O&M) 2 this case. There is a delay of three days in lodging the FIR. The petitioner has been falsely involved in this case. Learned State counsel, on the other hand, has opposed the petition and has stated that injury attracting offence under Section 326 IPC is attributed to the petitioner. Learned State counsel has further submitted that the delay in lodging the FIR was on account of unfitness of the complainant to make the statement. After hearing the learned counsel for the parties, I am of the opinion that no ground for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioner is made out. The injury attracting offence under Section 326 IPC is attributed to the petitioner. The petitioner might be required for custodial interrogation. In these circumstances, keeping in view the seriousness of offence alleged to have been committed by the petitioner no ground for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioner is made out. Dismissed. (SABINA) October 26, 2010 JUDGE Anand
