Crl. Misc. No.M-11854 of 2011 -: 1 :- IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATES OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Crl. Misc. No.M-11854 of 2011 Date of decision: May 30, 2011. Skender Singh ... Petitioner(s) v. State of Punjab & Ors. ... Respondent(s) CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE KANWALJIT SINGH AHLUWALIA Present: Shri Ashish Verma, Advocate, for the petitioner(s). Shri B.S. Sra, Additional Advocate General, Punjab for the respondents No.1 to 3. Kanwaljit Singh Ahluwalia , J. (Oral): Counsel for the petitioner has stated that the petitioner and respondents No.4 and 5 are engaged in sale and purchase of property. It is stated that there is a monetary dispute and respondents No.4 and 5 wield political influence, therefore, the petitioner has been called to various Police Stations and is compelled to arrive at a compromise with respondents No.4 and 5 at their terms. Counsel for the petitioner has referred to Annexures P- 2, P-3, P-4 and P-5 to state that the petitioner had approached for grant of pre-arrest bail at seven occasions and each time the police officers when cause appearance in bail application, they made a statement that the petitioner was not required. Today also, stand of the State is not different. It is again stated that the petitioner is not required in any case. This Court is very circumspect to lend credence to the statement made by Counsel for the State. This Court fails to understand as to why the petitioner will apply for bail seven times and knock at the doors of this Court in case he is not harassed by the police. Considering the Crl. Misc. No.M-11854 of 2011 -: 2 :- unusual circumstances of the case, this Court intended to make harsh observations regarding conduct of police but Counsel for the State has submitted that he will ensure that the petitioner will not be called to the Police Station without giving 7 days prior notice. In view of the statement made by counsel for the State, which is very fair, Counsel for the petitioner has submitted that the present petition be disposed of in terms of the said statement. Ordered accordingly. [Kanwaljit Singh Ahluwalia] May 30, 2011. Judge kadyan
