CRM-M No. 24153 of 2011 **** Balkar Siungh v. State of Punjab Present: Mr. Nakul Sharma, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. S.S.Gill, DAG, Punjab. **** This is a petition for anticipatory bail filed in case bearing FIR No. 59 dated 25.07.2011, under Sections 379, 411 IPC registered at Police Station Rangar Nangal, District Gurdaspur. The broad brush allegations are that the police received secret information that the petitioner is in the habit of stealing tractors and trolleys and that he would be present at a particular place with one stolen trolley. Raid was conducted and a trolley was recovered and as per police the petitioner managed to escape. Learned counsel for the petitioner has argued that the petitioner was not present at the spot and false case has been registered against him. Learned DAG, on instructions from ASI Swayamvarjeet Singh, has stated that one more similar FIR was lodged against the petitioner and he is facing trial therein. He has, however, accepted the fact that even till today it has not been found out by the police as to who is the owner of the trolley which was found abandoned. In this view of the matter, since at this stage it is not even clear whether the trolley is a stolen one, I deem it appropriate to allow the present petition. Let the petitioner appear before the investigating officer on 06.09.2011 between 10.00 a.m. and 4.00 p.m. The investigating officer shall, on his appearance, release him on bail to his satisfaction, subject to CRM-M No. 24153 of 2011 -2- the conditions laid down in Section 438(2) Cr.P.C. Petition stands disposed of. ( AJAY TEWARI ) JUDGE August 26, 2011 sunita
