CRM-M No. 17086 of 2011 **** Harnek Singh alias Balli and others v. State of Punjab Present: Mr. Malkeet Singh, Advocate for the petitioners. Mr. S.S. Gill, DAG, Punjab. Mr.J.S.Dadwal, Advocate for the complainant. **** This is a petition for anticipatory bail filed in case bearing FIR No. 72 dated 10.5.2011, under Sections 323, 324, 341, 506, 148 and 149 IPC(Offence under Section 326 IPC added later on), registered at Police Station Sadar, Ludhiana. On 31.05.2011 the following contention was noticed:- “ Learned counsel states that it is a case of scuffle and simple injuries have been attributed to both sides except one injury under section 326 IPC which is attributed to a non- petitioner. Further states that on the DDR only a cross case has been registered but the police is not making any effort to arrest them while the house of the petitioners is being raided.” Learned DAG, on instructions from HC Balbir Singh, has accepted the fact that injury under Section 326 IPC has not been attributed to any of the petitioners. Learned counsel for the complainant has, however, argued that the injured was hospitalised for 19 days. Learned counsel for the petitioner has countered it by arguing that the main accused who had caused the injuries were arrested and bailed out after three weeks. Considering the entire factual matrix I deem it appropriate to grant the concession of anticipatory bail to the petitioners. Let the petitioners appear before the investigating officer on 06.08. 2011 between CRM-M No. 17086 of 2011 -2- 10.00 a.m. and 4.00 p.m. and on any other date when their presence is required by him. The investigating officer shall release them on bail to his satisfaction, subject to the conditions laid down in Section 438(2) Cr.P.C. Petition stands disposed of.
