Crl. Misc. No.M-16874 of 2011 [1] IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. Crl. Misc. No. M-16874 of 2011 Date of Decision: August 10, 2011 Amarjit Singh and another …..Petitioners Vs. State of Punjab …..Respondent CORAM: HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE M.M.S. BEDI. -.- Present:- Mr.Ajay Singla, Advocate for the petitioners. Mr.K.S. Sidhu, DAG, Punjab. -.- M.M.S. BEDI, J. (ORAL) Petitioners allegedly constituted an unlawful assembly and assaulted Surjit Singh, complainant on April 25, 2011. Petitioner No.1 has been attributed simple injury with tangli and petitioner No.2 has been attributed simple injury with handle of hand-pump on the person of complainant and his son Sukhbir. The dispute appears arisen on account of controversy regarding reaping of the wheat crop as the complainant was allegedly prevented by the Crl. Misc. No.M-16874 of 2011 [2] petitioners and their co-accused from reaping the crop. The brother of the petitioner seems to have sown the undivided land resulting in the dispute. The grievous injury is attributed to non-petitioner Manohar Singh who was arrested and granted regular bail. Taking into consideration the nature of the injuries attributed to the petitioners and injury having also been suffered by petitioner No.1, it is apparently a case of version and cross-version. It will not be appropriate at this stage to determine as to which of the parties were aggressor party. The petitioners have joined investigation. It does not appear to be case of custodial interrogation. The petitioners can be granted the concession of pre-arrest subject to a condition that they will not commit the similar offence of assault during the pendency of the trial. Petition is allowed. The interim order dated May 30, 2011 is hereby made absolute subject to the following conditions:- i) that the petitioners will join investigation as and when required by the police; ii) they will not tamper with the evidence or hamper the investigation in any manner; and iii) that they will not commit the similar offence of which they are accused of during the pendency of the trial. In case of violation of any of the conditions, it will be open to the prosecution agency/ complainant to seek the cancellation of the bail. Crl. Misc.
