IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Criminal Misc. No. M-13974 of 2008 Date of decision:- 17.7.2008 Gurcharan Singh @ Charna ...Petitioner. Versus State of Punjab ...Respondent. CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJESH BINDAL Present: Mr. L.S. Sidhu, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Anter Singh Brar, DAG, Punjab. RAJESH BINDAL J. On May 29, 2008 while issuing notice of motion to State following contentions of the petitioner were recorded : “Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner in the present case has been falsely implicated for the reason that he is Secretary, District Congress Committee, District Mansa. The story projected in the complaint on the basis of which FIR was registered is highly improbable. The allegations that the prosecutrix was made to sit on the motor- cycle of the petitioner on the threat during day time at 11.30 a.m. just 10-15 steps from the house of the petitioner, is unbelievable. It is further alleged in the FIR that the petitioner took the prosecutrix to the road leading towards Village Bhawan and stopped the motor-cycle near a tube-well where she was raped under threat, after tearing of her clothes. After the alleged occurrence she came back home but nobody noticed Criminal Misc. No. M-13974 of 2008 -2- her torn clothes. Though the incident occurred on 30.4.2008 but the same was not reported to anyone as there is no material on record to corroborate the same. The FIR came to be recorded 8 days thereafter on 8.5.2008. The prosecutrix has not been medically examined till date. The allegation in the FIR that the petitioner is related to the prosecutrix is totally false.” Learned counsel for the State submits that the petitioner has joined the investigation. Be that as it may, without recording any finding on the merits of the controversy, the interim bail granted to the petitioner vide order dated 29.5.2008 is made absolute. The petition is disposed of.
