Crl. Misc. No. M-34337 of 2011 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. Case No. : Crl. Misc. No. M-34337 of 2011 Date of Decision : December 02, 2011 Jawahar Singh and another .... Petitioners Vs. State of Punjab .... Respondent CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE L. N. MITTAL * * * Present : Ms. Satwant Mehta, Advocate for the petitioners. Mr. Shailesh Gupta, DAG, Punjab. * * * L. N. MITTAL, J. (Oral) : Accused Jawahar Singh and Gurmit Singh have filed this petition for anticipatory bail in case FIR No.129 dated 12.06.2011, under Sections 452, 332, 186, 353, 148, 149 and 427 of the Indian Penal Code (in short – IPC), registered at Police Station Patti, District Tarn Taran. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the case file. According to the prosecution version, petitioners, along with Nihang Singh and other 15-20 persons, attacked the complainant Kuldeep Crl. Misc. No. M-34337 of 2011 2 Singh and Pal Singh – both security guards at Power House and caused them injuries. Learned State counsel, on instructions from ASI Balwinder Singh, stated that offence under Section 333 has also been added because Pal Singh – security guard also suffered grievous hurt in the occurrence. Counsel for the petitioners contended that grievous hurt is attributed to Nihang Singh – co-accused of the petitioners. However, learned State counsel contended that all the accused persons caused injuries to both the security guards. I have carefully considered the rival contentions. Cases of mob violence and destruction of public and private property are on the rise. In the instant case, Power House was attacked by a mob comprising of petitioners and others. The accused persons caused injuries to two security guards of the Power House, one of whom suffered grievous hurt also. Keeping in view all the circumstances of the case, but without meaning to express any opinion on merits of the case, I do not find it to be a fit case to extend the concession of anticipatory bail to the petitioners. Dismissed. December 02, 2011 ( L. N. MITTAL ) monika JUDGE
