Crl. Misc. No. M-30708 of 2011 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. Case No. : Crl. Misc. No. M-30708 of 2011 Date of Decision : December 05, 2011 Sartaj Pal Singh and another .... Petitioners Vs. State of Punjab .... Respondent CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE L. N. MITTAL * * * Present : Mr. J. B. S. Gill, Advocate for the petitioners. Mr. Shailesh Gupta, DAG, Punjab. * * * L. N. MITTAL, J. (Oral) : Accused Sartaj Pal Singh and Thakur Dass have filed this petition for anticipatory bail in case FIR No.214 dated 02.12.2009, under Sections 324, 326 and 307 of the Indian Penal Code (in short – IPC), registered at Police Station Mahilpur, District Hoshiarpur. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the case file. According to the prosecution version, only lalkara is attributed to petitioner no.2, whereas simple hurt with sharp weapon falling under Crl. Misc. No. M-30708 of 2011 2 Section 324 IPC is attributed to petitioner no.1, as submitted by learned State counsel. On investigation, the petitioners were found innocent by the police. However, now the petitioners have been summoned as additional accused on prosecution application filed under Section 319 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. Counsel for the petitioners states that pursuant to interim order of this Court, the petitioners appeared in the trial court on 07.11.2011 and furnished bail bonds for interim bail. Learned State counsel, after seeking instructions from Head Constable Jarnail Singh, pleads ignorance about it. Keeping in view the aforesaid, including role attributed to the petitioners and the fact that they were found innocent on investigation, the instant petition for anticipatory bail is allowed. The petitioners shall be released on bail, on furnishing bail bonds to the satisfaction of the trial court. However, if the petitioners did not furnish bail bonds for interim bail on or before 07.11.2011, then the instant petition shall be deemed to have been dismissed. December 05, 2011 ( L. N.
