Crl. Misc. No.M-19634 of 2011 (O&M) ****** Joginder Singh Vs. State of Punjab Present : Mr. L.S. Sidhu, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. S.S. Gill, D.A.G., Punjab. Mr. R.K. Girdhar, Advocate for the complainant. *** AJAY TEWARI, J. (ORAL) This petition has been filed under Section 438 Cr.P.C. for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioner in case F.I.R. No.125 dated 25.07.2009 registered under Sections 326, 324, 323, 148 and 149 IPC at Police Station Sadar Jalalabad, District Ferozepur. On 20.07.2011 the following contention was recorded:- “Counsel for the petitioner has argued that originally in an inquiry, the petitioner was found innocent and that is why earlier anticipatory bail petition bearing Crl. Misc. No.M-11043 of 2010 was got dismissed as withdrawn on 5.5.2010 (Annexure P-10).” On instructions from S.I. Om Parkash learned Deputy Advocate General has accepted these factual assertions. Learned counsel for the complainant has however argued that the petitioner is the main accused. Be that as it may, it cannot be denied that at this stage there is some doubt in view of the conflicting inquiry report. Crl. Misc. No.M-19634 of 2011 (O&M) -2- In this view of the matter, I deem it appropriate to grant the concession of anticipatory bail to the petitioner. Ordered accordingly. Petitioner is directed to appear before the Investigating Officer on 02.09.2011 between 10 A.M. to 04 P.M and on any other date as and when his presence is required. On his appearance, the Investigating Officer would release him on bail subject to the conditions envisaged under Section 438(2) Cr.P.C. Petition stands disposed of.
