Mr. Manmohan Sikka, DAG Haryana Mr. R.K.Saini, Advocate for the complainant. *** 1. Whether Reporters of Local Newspapers may be allowed to see the judgment ? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not ? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest ? *** AJAY TEWARI, J (Oral) The petitioners seek grant of anticipatory bail in case FIR No.142, dated 13.9.2011, registered under Sections 447, 504, 506/34 of the IPC, at Police Station Ambala Sadar, District Ambala. The broad-brush allegations against the petitioners are that they tried to encroach upon the panchayat land. On 26.9.2011, the following contention was noticed :- “ Learned counsel has argued that all the allegations have been levelled against the petitioners only because wife of petitioner No.1 contested the election against the present Sarpanch.” Crl. Misc No. M 29234 of 2011 ::2:: Counsel for the respondent, on instructions from ASI Prem Chand, as also counsel for the complainant have accepted the factual assertion. In this view of the matter, without commenting upon the merits of the case or on the plea of the petitioners regarding political victimization, I deem it appropriate to grant the concession of anticipatory bail to the petitioners. Consequently, the petitioners are directed to appear before the Investigating Officer on 18.10.2011 or on any other day on which the Investigating Officer requires their presence and in the event of their appearance, the petitioners shall be released on anticipatory bail by the Investigating Officer to his satisfaction subject to the conditions as laid down in Section 438(2) of the Cr.P.C. Petition stands disposed of. ( AJAY TEWARI ) October 04, 2011. JUDGE `kk'
