Criminal Misc.-M No. 22779 of 2011 [1] IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Criminal Misc.-M No. 22779 of 2011 (O&M) Date of decision: 9.9.2011 Gurdev Singh alias Pinta .. Petitioner Vs. State of Punjab .. Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJESH BINDAL Present: Mr. Munish Behl, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. P. S. Bajwa, Deputy Advocate General, Punjab. ... Rajesh Bindal J. Prayer in the present petition is for grant of pre-arrest bail to the petitioner, who is an accused in FIR No. 22 dated 17.6.2011, registered under Sections 186/353/332/148/149/452 and 427 IPC, Police Station, D- Division, Amritsar. Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner has been falsely implicated in this case. There is no material with the police that the petitioner was accompanying the other accused named in the FIR. In fact, he is carrying on the business of goldsmith. The allegation that the petitioner along with other accused had entered into the shop of readymade garments owned by one Monu and committed mischief there is totally false, as there is no material available in support thereof. On the other hand, learned counsel for the State submitted that the petitioner is a member of a gang, which is creating terror in the city. In fact, in full public view, they had attacked and torn the uniform of a police official. The other accused are facing trial in various other cases for heinous crimes. Considering the said facts, the petitioner does not deserve concession of pre-arrest bail. After hearing learned counsel for the parties and considering Criminal Misc.-M No. 22779 of 2011 [2] the allegations in the FIR and also that co-accused named in the FIR are involved in number of other cases for heinous crimes, there is no apparent reason available for his false involvement in this case, in my opinion, custodial interrogation of the petitioner is required. Accordingly, the present petition is dismissed. (Rajesh Bindal) Judge 9.9.2011 mk
