Petitioners Versus State of Punjab ....Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE M.M.S. BEDI Present:- Mr. B.S. Bhalla, Advocate for the petitioners. Mr. K.S. Sidhu, D.A.G., Punjab. ---- M.M.S. Bedi, J.(Oral) Petitioners No.1 and 3 i.e. Harjinder Singh and Jagtar Singh have not been attributed any injury. No doubt, it is a case of version and cross-version but none of the co-accused of the petitioners have been arrested. The petitioners along with others have allegedly constituted an unlawful assembly and attacked Baljit Singh. Taking into consideration the totality of circumstances, petitioners No.1 and 3 can be granted the concession of pre-arrest bail. So far as, Jasvir Singh is concerned, he was armed with Gandsa and has been attributed an injury on the leg of Baljit Singh with reserve side. The circumstances did not warrant the grant of pre-arrest bail to petitioner No.2 for having actively participated in the CRM-M- No.25072 of 2011 (O&M) -2- assault, resulting in injury on the person of Baljit Singh which has been described as dangerous to life. Petition is allowed qua Jagtar Singh and Harjinder Singh. They will be released on bail on their furnishing bail bonds/surety bonds to the satisfaction of the Investigating Officer in case of their arrest subject to the condition that they will join the investigation as and when required by the investigating agency and will not tamper with evidence and hamper the investigation in any manner. Petition qua petitioner No.2 Jasvir Singh is dismissed. Disposed of accordingly. In case, petitioner No.2 opts to surrender before the Illaqa Magistrate, it is expected that his application for bail would be decided expeditiously. (M.M.S. BEDI) JUDGE 12.10.2011 sonika
