Crl. Misc. No. M-33336 of 2011(O&M) [1] IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. Crl. Misc. No. M-33336 of 2011(O&M) Date of Decision: November 21, 2011 Santokh Singh …..Petitioner Vs. State of Punjab …..Respondent CORAM: HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE M.M.S. BEDI. -.- Present:- Mr.D.S. Sandhu, Advocate for the petitioner. -.- M.M.S. BEDI, J. (ORAL) This is second petition for pre-arrest bail inter-alia on the ground that the real brother of the petitioner had suffered grievous injury on the head and that the plea of self-defence is available to the petitioner. Counsel for the petitioner has submitted that on the basis of the injuries suffered by the petitioner and his brother, a private compliant has been filed. It is claimed that the police is trying to protect the opposite party. Crl. Misc. No. M-33336 of 2011(O&M) [2] I have heard counsel for the petitioner and gone through the record. No doubt, the brother of the petitioner had received grievous injury on skull but when an earlier petition was filed on behalf of the petitioner, his brother and others, taking into consideration all the facts and circumstances the brother of the petitioner had been granted the concession of pre-arrest bal. Taking into consideration the fact that the petitioner has been attributed two blows with kirpan on the left wrist and middle finger of complainant Surjit Singh, it will not be fair to enter into the controversy whether the plea of self-defence is available to the petitioner. Whether the petitioner had exercised his right to of self-defence or he exceeded the said right, cannot be considered at this stage. The pleas taken up in this petition may be taken by the petitioner for seeking concession of regular bail but no extra-ordinary exceptional circumstances exist to re-entertain the petition of pre-arrest bail filed by the petitioner.
