CRM-M No. 24884 of 2011 **** Shagandeep Singh v. State of Punjab Present: Mr. G.S.Kaura, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. S.S.Gill, DAG, Punjab. **** This is a petition for anticipatory bail filed in case bearing FIR No. 164 dated 06.07.2011, under Section 392 IPC registered at Police Station Division No.5, Civil Lines, Ludhiana City. On 25.08.2011 the following order was passed:- “ On 18.08.2011 the following contention was noticed:- “Learned counsel states that the petitioner is a juvenile and as per the allegations in the FIR four persons had committed the offence.” Learned Deputy Advocate General on instructions from ASI Pawan Kumar has stated that since at present the persecution has no reason to disbelieve the document (Annexure P-3) he would have no objection if interim conditional bail is granted to the patentor but the petitioner should appear before the Investigating Officer with proof of his age and the final order should be passed thereafter. In the circumstances, I deem it appropriate to direct the petitioner to appear before the Investigating Officer on 06.09.2011 along with the original proof of his date of birth. Adjourned to 16.09.2011 to await the report of the Investigating Officer. In the meantime, arrest of the petitioner shall remain stayed.” Today learned DAG, on instructions from ASI Pawan Kumar, CRM-M No. 24884 of 2011 -2- has accepted the fact that the petitioner was a juvenile. In the circumstances I deem it appropriate to grant the concession of anticipatory bail to the petitioner. In the event of his arrest, he is ordered to be released on bail to the satisfaction of Investigating Officer, subject to the conditions laid down in Section 438(2) Cr.P.C.
