State of Haryana .... Respondent CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE L. N. MITTAL * * * Present : Mr. B. S. Chahar, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Anil Kumar, DAG, Haryana. * * * L. N. MITTAL, J. (Oral) : Accused Rakesh Kumar has filed this petition for anticipatory bail in case FIR No.158 dated 21.05.2011 under Sections 307, 326, 342, 324, 323 and 34 of the Indian Penal Code (in short – IPC) and Section 25 of the Arms Act, registered at Police Station Adampur, District Hissar. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the case file. According to the prosecution version, the petitioner and his co- accused gave serious injuries including grievous hurt with sharp weapon to Crl. Misc. No. M-27666 of 2011 2 the complainant party. Even the petitioner used knife to cause injuries to the complainant party. Keeping in view the serious allegations against the petitioner, he does not deserve the concession of anticipatory bail. Learned counsel for the petitioner contended that the petitioner attended his duty at Village Chuli Baghrian, about ten kilometers away from the place of occurrence. However, at this stage, it cannot be said merely on this basis that the petitioner did not participate in the occurrence. It may be added that learned State counsel, on instructions from ASI Sohan Lal, contended that the distance is only four kilometers and the occurrence took place at about 08:00 P.M. It may also be mentioned that the petitioner, in spite of two adjournments, has not deposited the cost amount of Rs.3,000/- imposed on 22.09.2011. Accordingly, without meaning to express any opinion on merits of the case, the instant petition for anticipatory bail is dismissed. A copy of this order be sent to State Legal Services Authority, U. T., Chandigarh for recovery of cost amount from the petitioner as arrears of land revenue. December 05, 2011 ( L. N. MITTAL ) monika JUDGE
