Crl. Misc. No.M-17421 of 2010 [1] IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. Crl. Misc. No. M-17421 of 2010 Date of Decision: July 5, 2010 Lakhbir Singh @ Lakhy …..Petitioner Vs. State of Punjab …..Respondent CORAM: HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE M.M.S. BEDI. -.- Present:- Mr.S.S. Brar, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr.Abhishekh Chautala, AAG, Punjab. -.- M.M.S. BEDI, J. (ORAL) Petitioner seeks the concession of pre-arrest bail in a murder case inter-alia on the ground that he is not specifically named in the FIR and that being a complainant in a case under Section 307 IPC against the complainant in the present case, has been falsely implicated. After hearing counsel for the petitioner and going through the record, without expression of any opinion on merits, it is sufficient to Crl. Misc. No.M-17421 of 2010 [2] observe here that the petitioner has been declared a proclaimed offender in this case and that he had connived in the act of murder of brother of complainant Fateh Singh. I have considered the contention of counsel for the petitioner that the enquiry by S.P. Crime is pending and he is being declared innocent. The investigating officer present in the Court informs that challan has already been presented against the petitioner. Since the challan has already been presented and there are allegations against the petitioner of having connived with the other accused in causing the murder of Fateh Singh, no ground is made out for grant of pre-arrest bail. Dismissed. It is observed here that in case of any enquiry report declaring the petitioner innocent, it will be open for the petitioner to seek concession of regular bail in accordance with law, in case the circumstances so warrant.
