Alok Singh, J.(Oral) This is an application seeking anticipatory bail in case FIR No.368 dated 12.9.2010 under Sections 323, 307, 506 IPC, P.S., Sector 39, Chandigarh. The FIR was registered on the statement of Suraj, which reads as under:- “Statement of Suraj son of Balkishan Resident of House No.2685, DMC, Chandigarh is to the effect that on 12.9.2010, he was standing near the DMC Transformer adjacent the Samosa Rehri. In the meantime, Tarsem and his brother Vikas Crl Misc. No.37892-M of 2010 2 accompanied by three/four other persons came there and told that he was teased a girl upon which I replied that I have never teased any girl. Thereafter, they all started giving beating by giving fist and slaps blows. I also received head injury in the scuffle. Thereafter, they all left the place be extending threat to my life. I identify Tarsem and Vikas and can identify them if they are produced before me. Necessary action against all of them be taken according to law. Statement was recorded and heard.” Learned counsel for the petitioners vehemently argued that the petitioners are falsely implicated. He further argued that even from the contents of the FIR, it is not clear that Suraj was beaten with the intent to kill him. Mr. Hemant Bassi, Assistant Public Prosecutor has fairly stated that the FIR is silent about the intention to kill. However, since one of the injuries found on the complainant was dangerous to the life, hence Section 307 was rightly attracted. Considering totality of the facts and circumstances of the case, present petition is allowed and it is directed that in the event of arrest of the petitioners, they shall be released on bail by the Investigating Officer on furnishing their personal bonds and one surety each of Rs.20,000/-. Petitioner shall participate in the investigation. Petitioner shall be released subject to the limitations provided under Section 438(2) of the Code. ( Alok Singh ) Judge 04.01.2011 sk.
