Learned State counsel, on instructions from ASI Balwinder Singh, stated that petitioner no. 1 fired shots in the air and therefore, offence under section 307 IPC has not been added and rather the offence under Criminal Misc. No. M-30834 of 2011 -2- section 336 IPC has been added for the same. It is also stated by State counsel that pursuant to interim order of this Court, petitioners have since joined the investigation. Since injury relating to offence under section 326 IPC is not attributed to the petitioners and they have already joined investigation pursuant to interim order of this Court, the instant petition is allowed without meaning to express any opinion on the merits of the case. Interim order dated 19.10.2011 is made absolute. ( L.N. Mittal ) December 06, 2011 Judge 'dalbir'
