IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH CRM-M-25053-2011 (O&M) Date of decision:19.08.2011. Balwinder Kumar @ Bablu ...Petitioner Versus State of Punjab ...Respondent CORAM: HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE RAKESH KUMAR JAIN Present: Mr. Kuldip Sanwal, Advocate, for the petitioner. ***** RAKESH KUMAR JAIN, J. (ORAL) This is a petition for pre-arrest bail in a case registered vide FIR No.29 dated 19.06.2010, under Sections 380, 427, 411, 413 IPC, Police Station Sekhwan, Tehsil Batala, District Gurdaspur. During the course of hearing, learned counsel for the petitioner has candidly admitted that there are five other cases pending against the petitioner. In view thereof, it seems that the petitioner is a habitual offender much-less indulging in theft repeatedly, therefore, I do not find it to be a case for grant of anticipatory bail. Hence, the present petition is hereby dismissed. August 19, 2011 (RAKESH KUMAR JAIN) vinod* JUDGE
