Road, Aslamabad, Hoshiarpur. On 27.10.2009, at about 4.30 PM I and my father Sarwan Singh son of Hukam Singh were present in our Crl. Misc. No.M-32823 of 2009 -2- showroom, then Tarsem Lal son of Dharampal resident Ravi Dass Nagar alongwith Devinder resident on Kayampur and two more unknown persons with them came at my showroom. Tarsem Lal was having datar in his hand who after coming raised lalkaras and started giving datar blows on the goods lying out side the showroom, then they hurled bricks in our showroom due to which large glasses of our showroom got broken. Outside our showroom our Activa scooter No.PB-07-T- 9594 was parked and he gave datar blows on that and gave threats to kill us. Outside showroom our one more scooter Bajaj Chetak No.PB-07-E-2204 was parked and this Tarsem Lal forcibly took away by threatening. Later on I learnt from my wife Narinder Kaur that Tarsem Lal and his companions had earlier gone to my house and they gave datar on our gate. My wife remained in the house due to fear. They also gave threats to kill there. Cause of occurrence is that Tarsem Lal and Devinder had been working with me on daily base. Few days earlier I gave my scooter to Tarsem parked for getting paint and he did not give scooter to me. I made report in Police Station in this respect then respectable persons got oral settlement and he returned the scooter. Due this grudge, they caused damaged to my showroom. Afterwards Tarsem Lal also damaged our other showroom, which is situated at Hira Colony, Chintpurni Road, Police Station Model Town, Hoshiarpur. My brother Sarabjit Singh sits at that showroom. Tarsem Lal above said is also threatening him. My brother has danger from him. Some persons tried to get our compromise which could not be effected. Statement has been heard which is correct." Crl. Misc. No.M-32823 of 2009 -3- After hearing learned counsel for the parties, I am of the opinion that no ground for grant of bail to the petitioner is made out. The allegations levelled against the petitioner are serious in nature. The petitioner, who is an employee of the complainant, has hurled bricks in the showroom and has damaged the property of the complainant. Dismissed. July 8, 2010 (SABINA) Gagan JUDGE
