Criminal Misc. No. M-20103 of 2009 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Criminal Misc. No. M-20103 of 2009 Date of decision: July 27, 2009 Bhupinder Kumar -Petitioner Versus State of Punjab -Respondent Coram Hon'ble Mr. Justice Rajan Gupta Present: Mr. Amit Mehta, Advocate, for the petitioner. Rajan Gupta, J.(Oral) This is a petition for grant of regular bail in a cse registered against the petitioner under Section 302 read with Section 201 IPC at police station Division No.2 Jalandhar vide FIR No. 264 dated 24.12.2008. Counsel submits that the petitioner has been falsely implicated in this case as at the time of alleged occurrence, he was not present in Jalandhar but was at Delhi. According to counsel, petitioner met his maternal uncle at Delhi and he was ready to testify the fact that the petitioner was in fact in Delhi. Another argument raised is that extra judicial confession could not have any bearing on the facts of the case as the report of the Chemical Examiner showed that the deceased died of shock due to burn injuries and not due to any other injury. According to counsel, the report of Chemical Examiner is in conflict with the extra judicial confession. I have heard learned counsel for the petitioner. In my considered view, all the pleas raised by the petitioner at Criminal Misc. No. M-20103 of 2009 2 this stage are not relevant for the purpose of considering prayer for bail. The plea of alibi set up by the petitioner is a matter to be dealt with by the trial Court at the stage of trial. As regards conflict between the report of Chemical Examiner and the extra judicial confession, no finding can be given at this stage. Under the circumstances, I find no ground to enlarge the petitioner on bail. The petition being devoid of any merit is hereby dismissed. [Rajan Gupta] Judge July 27, 2009. 'ask'
