AJAI LAMBA, J. (Oral) This petition under Section 438, Code of Criminal Procedure, seeks bail in FIR No.342 dated 28.7.2008 under Sections 147, 148, 149, 323, 332, 353, 341, 427, 307, Indian Penal Code, Police Station, Mani Majra, Chandigarh. Learned counsel for the petitioner contends that the case of the petitioner is better than Sanjeev, co-accused. Sanjeev has been allowed bail by this Court while dealing with CRM 21592-M of 2008 decided on 4.12.2008. Sanjeev not only exhorted the accused to commit the offence but has been named in the FIR. The name of the petitioner figures only in the statement of Parlad recorded on 31.7.2008. Even the injuries ascribed Criminal Misc.31419-M of 2008 2 to Sanjeev and the petitioner are similar with blunt weapons on the person of Parlad. The petitioner has not been attributed any injury on the person of Constable Ajit Singh. Considering the fact that Sanjeev, co-accused, has been allowed bail by this Court vide order dated 4.12.2008, this petition is allowed. It is directed that in the event of arrest, the petitioner shall be enlarged on bail on furnishing of bail bonds to the satisfaction of the Arresting/Investigating Officer, subject to the following conditions :- i) the petitioner shall make himself available for interrogation as and when required; ii)the petitioner shall not directly or indirectly make any inducement, threat or promise to any person acquainted with the facts of the case so as to dissuade him from disclosing such facts to the Court or to any police officer; and iii)the petitioner shall not leave India without the previous permission of the Court. This order shall enure till 10 days after the petitioner receives a notice of filing of final report u/s 173, Cr.P.C, within which period, the petitioner would be at liberty to apply for regular bail.
