Criminal Misc. No. M-19638 of 2011 (1) IN THE PUNJAB AND HARYANA HIGH COURT AT CHANDIGARH Criminal Misc. No. M-19638 of 2011 (O&M) Date of decision : 27.7.2011 Sukhdev Singh .. Petitioner vs State of Punjab .. Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJESH BINDAL Present: Mr. S. P. S. Sidhu, Advocate, for the petitioner. Rajesh Bindal, J. Prayer in the present petition is for grant of anticipatory bail in FIR No. 62 dated 10.6.2011 registered under Sections 307, 324, 325, 336, 148, 149, 120-B IPC and 25/27/54/59 of the Arms Act, at Police Station Mehna, District Moga. The FIR in the present case was registered on the statement of Ajmer Singh son of Manjit Singh. The dispute between the parties arose on laying of foundation stone of a hall. The allegations against the petitioner are that on 5.6.2011, he alongwith Jagraj Singh, Major Singh, Balwinder Singh, Kewal Singh and Wazir Singh visited at Dera and threatened the complainant party not to lay foundation stone for construction of a hall in Gurudwara, otherwise they were to face dire consequences. On 6.6.2011, when the work of foundation stone was going on, the petitioner came there at about 4.30 p.m. and went back after 5/7 minutes. Thereafter, other accused came at the spot with deadly weapons. They encircled the complainant party; gave severe injuries; fired shots and ran away along with their weapons. Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner as well as the panchayat of the village were raising the issue of illegal cutting of trees and had also filed a case against the complainant party. Due to this reason, the petitioner has been falsely implicated in this case. Criminal Misc. No. M-19638 of 2011 (2) After hearing learned counsel for the petitioner, I do not find any merit in the present case. The petitioner cannot be allowed to take law in his own hands. As per the allegations, he along with other accused hatched the conspiracy. He arranged the persons for committing crime, disturbed a ceremony being held for construction of a hall in Gurudwara, which was meant for public good. None of the accused has surrendered till date. Considering the aforesaid facts and the seriousness of the allegations against the petitioner, I do not find that this to be a fit case for grant of pre-arrest bail. Accordingly, the petition is dismissed. 27.7.2011 (Rajesh Bindal ) vs Judge
