In the High Court of Punjab and Haryana at Chandigarh Criminal Misc. No.M-33244 of 2010 (O&M) Date of decision: 12.11.2010 Hardev Singh ......Petitioner Versus State of Punjab .......Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MRS. JUSTICE SABINA Present: M.J.S.Gurna, Advocate, for the petitioner. **** SABINA, J. This petition has been filed under Section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure for grant of anticipatory bail in case FIR No. 153 dated 28.9.2010 under Sections 307, 323, 324, 34 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC for short), registered at Police Station Dina Nagar, District Gurdaspur. The allegations against the petitioners are that on the day of occurrence, the petitioner armed with a dang and his co- accused Gurmeet Singh @ Mita armed with a gandasi attacked the complainant. Gurmeet Singh @ Mita gave two gandasi blows on the head of the complainant from the sharp side, whereas, the petitioner Criminal Misc. No.M-33244 of 2010 (O&M) -2- gave two dang blows which hit the complainant on his left arm and back. Learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that there was no medical evidence to support the offence under Section 307 IPC. In fact, it was a case under Sections 323, 324 IPC. After hearing learned counsel for the petitioner, I am of the opinion that no ground for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioner is made out. The allegations levelled against the petitioner are serious in nature. The fact that whether the injuries, inflicted by the petitioner and his co-accused on the person of the complainant, were with the intention to kill him or not would more appropriately be gone into and considered during trial. The petitioner might be required for custodial interrogation. Accordingly, this petition is dismissed. (SABINA) JUDGE November 12, 2010 anita
