Crl. Misc No. M-30421 of 2009 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Crl. Misc No. M-30421 of 2009 Date of decision : 09.11.2009 Gurmej Singh ....Petitioner V/s State of Punjab ....Respondent BEFORE : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJAN GUPTA Present: Mr. Atul Lakhanpal, Sr. Advocate with Mr. Arjun Lakhanpal, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Shailesh Gupta, DAG Punjab. RAJAN GUPTA J. (ORAL) The only prayer made in the present petition is for grant of anticipatory bail in the event of the arrest of the petitioner in a cognizable case to be lodged at the behest of local MLA namely Virsa Singh Valtoha. Learned counsel for the State submits that no complaint lodged by Virsa Singh Valtoha against the petitioner is pending with the police at present. Learned counsel states that the petition has been filed merely on the basis of an apprehension in the mind of the petitioner and thus the prayer for pre-arrest bail is misconceived. Learned State counsel (on instructions from Head Constable Mangal Singh, who is present in court) further submits that in case any complaint is received against the petitioner, the police shall proceed only in accordance with law. In view of the statement made by learned counsel for the State, Crl. Misc No. M-30421 of 2009 2 counsel for the petitioner submits that he may be allowed to withdraw the present petition at this stage with liberty to file a fresh one in case there is fresh cause of action. Dismissed as withdrawn with liberty as aforesaid. 09.11.2009 (RAJAN GUPTA) Ajay JUDGE
