No. M-15632 of 2011 Date of decision : 03.06.2011 Jagtar Singh @ Kaka ....Petitioner V/s State of Punjab ....Respondent BEFORE : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJAN GUPTA Present: Mr. M.S. Kang, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Shilesh Gupta, Deputy Advocate General, Punjab. Mohd. Yousaf, Advocate for the complainant. RAJAN GUPTA J. (ORAL) This is a petition filed under Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure seeking regular bail in a case registered against the petitioner vide FIR No. 110 dated 21.04.2011 under Sections 307, 325 & 323 IPC at Police Station Payal, District Ludhiana. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that petitioner himself received injuries in the alleged occurrence. According to him, the injured got treatment from a private hospital thus there is no reliable evidence to show that any grievous injury was caused by the petitioner. He is thus entitled to concession of pre-arrest bail. Learned State counsel has, however, vehemently opposed the prayer. He submits that petitioner caused serious injury on the head of Sadhu Singh leading to fractures of skull bone in parietal region. She submits that injured had to undergo a surgery due to injuries received. She, Criminal Misc. No. M-15632 of 2011 2 on instructions from ASI Gurcharan Singh, who is present in court, submits that injury caused by the petitioner was declared dangerous to life. Heard. FIR was lodged by Kuldip Singh who stated that on 20.04.2011 when he was present in his fields along with his father, they were assaulted by the accused. He caused injuries to them with a ‘kahi’. The petitioner hit Sadhu Singh on the head with the said weapon which led to a serious injury. In view of injury caused, Sadhu Singh had to be operated upon in a private hospital. The injury caused on the person of Sadhu Singh in the parietal region was declared dangerous to life. In view of nature of allegations, I am of the considered view that petitioner is not entitled to concession of bail despite the cross version lodged by him. The petition is without any merit and is hereby dismissed. June 03, 2011 (RAJAN GUPTA) Ajay JUDGE
