Crl. Misc. No.M-22967 of 2011 Harbans Singh @ Bansi Versus State of Punjab PRESENT Mr.Gaurav Sharma, Adv., for the petitioner. Mr.Kiratpal Singh Sidhu, DAG., Punjab. Petitioner seeks the concession of pre-arrest bail in a case registered at the instance of Jagdeep Singh alleging that the petitioner armed with kirpan along with 7 other persons had attacked the complainant causing injury on his person. So far as the petitioner is concerned, he is attributed a simple injury with kirpan. It is not disputed that an FIR No.60 dated 03.06.2010, stands registered against the complainant at Police Station, Bhadaur, for having made a murderous assault on the petitioner. The possibility of petitioner having been involved in the case on account of previous rivalry cannot be ruled out as two of the named accused on investigation have been found innocent by the police. Though the principle of falsus in uno, falsus in omnibus is not applicable, but taking into consideration the totality of the circumstances, it does not appear to be a case of custodial interrogation. The petitioner having already joined the investigation, the petition can be allowed The petition is allowed. It is ordered that in case of arrest of the petitioner, he will be released on bail to the satisfaction of the arresting officer subject to all the conditions under Section 438 (2) Cr.P.C. An additional condition is also imposed that he will not commit the similar offence of which he is accused of during the pendency of trial. In case of violation of any of the conditions, it will be open to the prosecution agency or the complainant to seek the cancellation of bail. (M.M.S.BEDI) JUDGE August 18, 2011. rka
