CORAM: HONBLE MR.JUSTICE RAKESH KUMAR JAIN Present: Mr.Sandeep Arora,Advocate,for the petitioners Mr.Ranbir Singh Rawat,AAG,Punjab. Rakesh Kumar Jain, J: The petitioners have applied for anticipatory bail in a case registered vide FIR No. 131 dated 04.6.2009 under Sections 452,354,356,427,506,436,511,148,149 I.P.C. at Police Station, Sadar,Jalandhar. The aforesaid FIR has been registered on the complaint of Jasvir Kaur, who has stated that on 4.6.2009, at about 12. p.m in the after-noon, she was present in her house alongwith her children. Jimmi son of Jagjit Singh alongwith three/four persons came to her house and started asking her as to why she had given the number of his motor cycle in the quarrel in which one Deepak got injured. He started abusing her and tore off her shirt. Thereafter, Resham Singh, who was having kirpan in his hand broke the door and window panes of her house. Beeta (petitioner No.2), who was having an iron pipe in CRM.M 19738 of 2009 (O&M) 2 his hand, broke her washing machine and fridge, whereas Parwinder Kaur (petitioner No.1) sprinkled kerosene oil in the kitchen in order to set it on fire ,but on her raising alarm, Deepak son of Ishar Dass including Joginder Singh son of late Ram Singh who is her neighbour came there. The accused persons took her Activa Scooter of black colour bearing No.PB-08-AT-5981, in the street and the motor cycle of Deepak Kumar of blue colour bearing No.PB-05-H-4527, and damaged them and tried to put them on fire, but due to the intervention of the people gathered there, they fled, but before that, they broke glass panes of the house of Joginder Singh. Before coming to this Court, the petitioners had applied for anticipatory bail before the learned Addl.Sessions Judge Jalandhar, which was dismissed on 01.7.2009. Learned counsel for the petitioners has argued that the petitioners have been falsely implicated in this case, rather it has been submitted that on 4.6.2009, the petitioners were not present in their house , but her cousin Mandeep Singh was present. At that time, the complainant came and started abusing him. She had also brought some hired persons, who gave beatings to Mandeep Singh. Learned counsel for the petitioners has further submitted that injuries suffered by Mandeep Singh have not been explained. Learned counsel for the State has argued that as per investigation, it has been found that Mandeep Singh is not the cousin of petitioner No.1. After hearing learned counsel for the parties, I find that this is a case of rowdysim in which the petitioners have actively CRM.M 19738 of 2009 (O&M) 3 participated taking the law in their own hands and have caused extensive damages to the property of the complainant inasmuch as they had even tried to set her house on fire. As the offence is serious, therefore, no exceptional circumstance has been made out by the learned counsel for the petitioners for the purpose of granting them anticipatory bail. Hence, the bail petition is hereby dismissed. Aug 04,2009 (Rakesh Kumar Jain) RR Judge
