Coram:- Hon'ble Mr. Justice Alok Singh 1.Whether reporters of local news papers may be allowed to see judgement ? 2. To be referred to reporters or not ? 3. Whether the judgement should be reported in the Digest ? Present: Mr. C.S. Bagri, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. K.D. Sachdeva, Addl. A.G., Punjab for the State. Mr. J.S. Chahal, Advocate for the complainant. ... Alok Singh, J (Oral). The District and Sessions Judge in his order dated 18.4.2009 passed in Bail Application No.231 of 2009 had observed that the Investigating Officer Kailash Chander from Police Station, Jalandhar has stated that the applicant Balbir Kaur is not wanted in this case by the police as she was found innocent during the enquiry. On being asked repeatedly neither ASI Rajpal Singh nor the CRM-M No.16736 of 2010 2 Additional Advocate General, Punjab, are able to tell the Court as to what evidence was collected against the petitioner after 18.4.2009, suggesting involvement of the petitioner in the offence. Learned Additional Advocate General, Punjab on the instructions of the Investigating Officer has repeatedly argued that address given by the petitioner is wrong and she was not residing at the address given in the petition. However, he is not able to satisfy the Court as to what evidence was collected against the petitioner after 18.4.2009. This Court fails to understand that once the Investigating Officer has stated before the Sessions Judge that the petitioner is not involved in the offence, on what basis the State/prosecution is seeking dismissal of the bail application. Learned counsel for the petitioner vehemently argued that petitioner has not been released on bail by the Arresting Officer pursuant to the order dated 11.6.2010 because there was no evidence against the petitioner and she was not found involved in the commission of the offence. In view of the above facts, present petition is disposed of making the order dated 11.6.2010 absolute. ( Alok Singh ) Judge 09.02.2011 sk.
