IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Crl.M.No. M-26190/2010(O&M) Date of decision: 24.9.2010. Kiranjeet Singh Gehri ....................Petitioner v. State of Punjab and others. .....................Respondents Coram: Hon'ble Mr.Justice Jaswant Singh Present: None for the petitioner. Jaswant Singh.J.(Oral) Prayer under Section 438 Cr.PC is for grant of blanket bail At the time of hearing no one put in appearance on behalf of the petitioner. As per averments made in the petition, the petitioner alleges himself to be President of Lok Jan Shakti Party of Punjab Unit Dalit Atyachar Roko Action committee and senior leader of other Social Service Organizations. It is alleged that since petitioner and his associates used to raise voice against injustice and oppression, some Police Officers have conspired to implicate the petitioner in some false case. It is further averred that on 18.5.2010 a fight took place between Lok Jan Shakti Party members and police in which Sub Inspector Narinder Singh, who is under treatment at Guru Gobind Singh Medical College Hospital made statement against petitioner's party workers. It is also alleged that police has already apprehended 17 persons and has threatened to apprehend the main leader of the party very soon. After going through the averments made in the petition, in my opinion, no case for grant of blanket anticipatory bail is made out, as an order under Section 438 Cr.PC is a device to secure the individual's liberty, it is neither a passport to the commission of crimes nor a shield against any and all kinds of accusations likely or unlikely, as held in para 16 of the decision of Hon'ble the Supreme Court in Adri Dharan Das v.State of W.B., (2005) 4 SCC 303,and reiterated in Union of India v. Padam Narain Aggarwal and others, (2008) 13 SCC 305. Dismissed. 24.9.2010 (Jaswant Singh) joshi Judge
