Criminal Misc.No.22801 of 2009 Date of Decision:1.9.2009 Malkit ingh ...Petitioner Versus State of Punjab ...Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE L.N.MITTAL Present: Mr.K.S.Hissowal, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr.Gaurav Garg Dhuriwala, AAG, Punjab. L.N.Mittal, J. (Oral): Malkit Singh has filed this petition for anticipatory bail in case FIR No.150 dated 4.6.2009 under Sections 307, 332, 353, 186, 141 read with Section 149 IPC, Police Station City Sangrur. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the case file. According to the prosecution version, mob of 150/200 persons armed with deadly weapons and brick bats etc. attacked Police Station City Sangrur, for taking revenge of the death of Paramjit Singh alias Kaka. Manna Ex-Sarpanch of village Mangwal was heading the mob. Manna raised lalkara to demolish the police station. The mob started pelting brick bats at the police station. Warning was given to the mob but they attacked Deputy Superintendent of Police with intent to kill him. The police officials fired in the air in self defence. Learned counsel for the petitioner vehemently contended that the petitioner has not been named in the FIR. The contention Criminal Misc.No.M-22801 of 2009 2 has been controverted by the learned State counsel by submitting that the petitioner was named in the FIR. It was pointed out that the name of the petitioner has been mentioned in the ruqqa sent to the police station but while recording its contents in the FIR, name of Malkit Singh petitioner has been inadvertently written as Manjit Singh. I have carefully considered the contention of learned counsel for the parties. Mob attacks and mob violence are on the rise these days. Public in general also suffers. Roads are blocked by the mob. Even serious patients suffer in such situation. In the instant case, police station was attacked by the mob. Petitioner has been named in the FIR. In view of the aforesaid, without meaning to express any opinion on merits, the petitioner does not deserve the concession of anticipatory bail. Dismissed. (L.N.Mittal) 1.9.2009 Judge AS
