IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Criminal Misc.-M No. 25656 of 2011 (O&M) Date of decision: 7.9.2011 Sawarn Singh .. Petitioner Vs. State of Punjab .. Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJESH BINDAL Present: Mr. L. M. Gulati, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. K. S. Pannu, Deputy Advocate General, Punjab. ... Rajesh Bindal J. The only allegation against the petitioner in the FIR is that he raised a lalkara. Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that he was not present at the spot. Admittedly, the incident took place on 7.6.2011 at 7.30 AM. The petitioner was present in the hospital, where his wife-Darshan Kaur was under treatment. The co-accused, to whom grievous injuries have been attributed, have already been arrested and released on bail. The aforesaid facts are not disputed by learned counsel for the State. Considering the contentions raised by learned counsel for the parties, in my opinion, the petitioner is not required to be taken into custody for interrogation. He is directed to appear before Investigating Officer on 15.9.2011 at 10.00 AM for joining investigation. In case of arrest, the petitioner shall be released on furnishing of bail bonds to the satisfaction of the Arresting/Investigating Officer. He shall appear before the Investigating Officer as and when called upon for further investigation. He shall also be bound by all the conditions as contained in Section 438(2) Cr.P.C. The petition stands disposed of. (Rajesh Bindal) Judge 7.9.2011/mk
