Criminal Misc.-M No. 8708 of 2011 [1] IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Date of decision: 23.9.2011 (1) Criminal Misc.-M No. 8708 of 2011 (O&M) Sukhjit Singh alias Sukha .. Petitioner Vs. State of Punjab .. Respondent (2) Criminal Misc.-M No. 14760 of 2011 (O&M) Bhupinder Singh .. Petitioner Vs. State of Punjab .. Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJESH BINDAL Present: Mr. IPS Kohli, Advocate for the petitioners. Mr. P. S. Bajwa, Deputy Advocate General, Punjab. ... Rajesh Bindal J. Prayer in the present petitions is for grant of regular bail to the petitioners. The FIR is a result of murder of Bhupinder Singh, who died of gun shot injuries. Sukhjit Singh alias Sukha has specifically been named in the FIR, whereas name of Bhupinder Singh cropped up during investigation. Both of them were arrested on 21.8.2010. The submission of learned counsel for the petitioners is that both the petitioners were merely carrying Dandas with them, with which they had hit the car only in which the deceased was travelling. The gun shot injuries are attributed to other Criminal Misc.-M No. 8708 of 2011 [2] co-accused, namely, Pinki and Rohi. Considering the period of custody, the petitioners be released on bail pending trial. Learned counsel for the State, on instructions from ASI- Gurbachan Singh submitted that earlier there is one case registered against Sukhjit Singh alias Sukha under Section 307 IPC. There was previous enmity between the parties, as both of them had cases registered against each other on account of fight. He further submitted that in the present case, it was a planned murder. A girl was used to call the deceased at the spot where the accused party came in a TATA Safari vehicle and fired at him and also damaged the car. As it was an unlawful assembly, where all the accused in a planned manner had come to the spot and committed the murder of Bhupinder Singh, the petitioners do not deserve concession of bail. After hearing learned counsel for the parties and considering the submissions made above, in my opinion, the petitioners do not deserve concession of bail at this stage. Accordingly, the present petitions are dismissed. (Rajesh Bindal) Judge 23.9.2011 mk
