Crl. Misc. No.M-15977 of 2011 (O&M) ****** Jawala Singh and another Vs. State of Punjab Present : Mr. Sandeep Jain, Advocate for the petitioners. Mr. S.S. Chandumajra, D.A.G., Punjab. ******* AJAY TEWARI, J. (ORAL) This petition has been filed under Section 438 Cr.P.C. for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioners in case F.I.R. No.129 dated 7.5.2011 registered under Sections 341, 323, 148 and 149 IPC and 3(X) of the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989 at Police Station Zirakpur, District SAS Nagar, Mohali. On 23.05.2011 the following contention was noticed:- “Learned counsel states that the petitioners are old persons and the allegations under the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989 are not attributed to them.” On instructions from ASI Naib Singh learned Deputy Advocate General has not been able to controvert this assertion. In the circumstances, without going into the merits of the case, I deem it appropriate to grant the concession of anticipatory bail to the petitioners. Ordered accordingly. Crl. Misc. No.M-15977 of 2011 (O&M) -2- In the event of arrest of the petitioners, they shall be released on bail to the satisfaction of SHO/Investigating Officer subject to the conditions laid down under Section 438(2) Cr.P.C. Petition stands disposed of. ( AJAY TEWARI ) May 30, 2011 JUDGE ashish
