Respondent ***** CORAM: HON’BLE MR.JUSTICE RAKESH KUMAR JAIN ***** Present: Mr.Sarabjit Singh, Advocate, for the petitioners. Mr.A.S.Rai, DAG, Punjab. ***** RAKESH KUMAR JAIN, J. This is a petition for pre-arrest bail in a case registered vide FIR No.92 dated 16.05.2011 under Sections 454, 427, 436, 148 & 149 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860 (for short ‘IPC’) at Police Station Beas, District Amritsar. The FIR is registered on the statement of Dalbir Singh, who has alleged that the accused have collectively set on fire the house of his brother Baldev Singh which has been completely burnt down and has been demolished. Learned counsel for the petitioners has submitted that the present FIR is a counter-blast to the FIR No.91 dated 15.5.2011 registered under Sections 302, 323, 324, 148 & 149 of the IPC at Police Station Beas, Distt. Amritsar Rural by Joginder Singh against Baldev Singh etc. for committing the murder of Amritpal Singh son of petitioner No.4. I have heard learned counsel for the petitioners and have perused the record from which I have found that may be a case is registered against Baldev Singh in pursuance of FIR No.91 dated 15.5.2011 but the occurrence recorded vide FIR No.92 dated 16.5.2011 cannot be said to be self created in order to create a counter-blast because in the said incident the entire house of the complainant has been burnt and even fallen down. In view thereof, I do not find it to be a fit case for anticipatory bail. Hence, the present petition is hereby dismissed. (RAKESH KUMAR JAIN) AUGUST 11, 2011 JUDGE Vivek
