Crl. Misc. No.M-28958 of 2010 [1] IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. Crl. Misc. No. M-28958 of 2010 Date of Decision: September 30, 2010 Joginder Singh …..Petitioner Vs. State of Haryana …..Respondent CORAM: HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE M.M.S. BEDI. -.- Present:- Mr.Sunil Saharan, Advocate for the petitioner. -.- M.M.S. BEDI, J. (ORAL) The petitioner was arrested in a case of dacoity of a bank registered at the instance of Rakesh Goyal, Manager, alleging that on November 21, 2007, few boys had taken away a sum of more than Rs.12.50 lacs on pistol point. The co-accused of the petitioner after trial has already been convicted. Counsel for the petitioner submits that the name of the petitioner has been involved in the case on the basis of the statements of Crl. Misc. No.M-28958 of 2010 [2] Mahavir and Deputy, the co-accused. It is submitted that there is no evidence against the petitioner regarding identity and presence on the spot. It is also submitted that the petitioner contested the election for becoming a Member of Zila Parishad in the year 2008. He was well known to all the people of the locality and has been wrongly declared as a proclaimed offender besides having wrongly been named as accused. Since the petitioner has been arrested only on May 18, 2010; supplementary challan has already been presented, there can be chances of tampering with the evidence at this stage. Taking into consideration the previous conduct of petitioner of having been declared a proclaimed offender, I do not find any ground to grant the concession of bail to the petitioner at this stage. Dismissed at this stage with liberty to the petitioner to file fresh after material witnesses are examined by the trial Court. September 30, 2010 (M.M.S.BEDI) sanjay JUDGE
