State of Punjab ...... Respondent *** CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE AJAY TEWARI *** Present : Mr. Pritam Saini, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Abhishek Chautala, AAG Punjab *** 1. Whether Reporters of Local Newspapers may be allowed to see the judgment ? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not ? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest ? *** AJAY TEWARI, J (Oral) The petitioner seeks grant of anticipatory bail in case FIR No.113, dated 31.7.2011, registered under Sections 409/408 of the IPC, at Police Station City Batala, District Gurdaspur. Reply by way of an affidavit of Sakattar Singh, DSP, Sub Division City Batala, Police District Batala, filed today in Court is taken on record. On 15.9.2011, the following order was passed :- “ Sh. Sakatar Singh, DSP (City) Batala is present in person. Learned counsel for the petitioner has made a very fair offer. He has stated that the petitioner will appear before the said DSP (City), Batala on any date and will attempt to convince him about his innocence and will thereafter abide by the report of the police officer but for Crl. Misc No. M 25465 of 2011 ::2:: this purpose he should be given conditional protection. Learned Deputy Advocate General has also accepted that this would not be inappropriate. In the circumstances, let the petitioner appear before the DSP on 22.09.2011 between 10 AM to 05 P.M. The matter is posted to 29.09.2011 to await the report of the DSP. Till then, the petitioner may not be arrested. It is made clear that further orders on this petition would depend upon the report given by the DSP.” As per the reply, there is huge discrepancy in the record. The petitioner has not been able to satisfy the Investigating Officer about his innocence. In my considered opinion the petitioner does not deserve the concession of anticipatory bail. Consequently, this petition is dismissed. ( AJAY TEWARI ) September 29, 2011. JUDGE `kk'
