IN THE PUNJAB AND HARYANA HIGH COURT AT CHANDIGARH Criminal Misc.-M No. 27826 of 2011(O&M) Date of Decision: 20.09.2011 Brij Lal alias Rinku ...Petitioner Versus State of Punjab ..Respondent CORAM: Hon'ble Mr. Justice Rajesh Bindal Present: Mr. J.S. Dadwal, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. K.S. Pannu, Deputy Advocate General, Punjab. RAJESH BINDAL, J. Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that perusal of the FIR shows that 2-3 unidentified persons with their faces covered had alleg- edly thrown bottle of kerosene oil in the compound of the complainant and also put the sofas lying there on fire. On suspicion, the petitioner had been named in the FIR. In fact, it is a case of false implication as there was a dis- pute pending between the parties earlier. The petitioner, in fact, had filed a civil suit against the complainant restraining her from harassing the peti- tioner by falsely implicating in any case. On the other hand, learned counsel for the State submitted that subsequent to the registration of the FIR supplementary statement of the complainant was recorded, where she has specifically named the petitioner, though in the FIR it has been mentioned that 2-3 unknown persons with covered faces had done the mischief. After hearing learned counsel for the parties and considering the previous dispute between the parties and the petitioner having been named in the FIR only on the basis of suspicion, in my opinion, the peti- tioner is not required to be taken into custody for interrogation. He is di- rected to appear before the Investigating Officer on 30.09.2011 at 10.00 a.m. to join investigation and in case of arrest, he shall be released on fur- nishing of bail bonds to the satisfaction of the Investigating Officer. He shall appear before the Investigating Officer as and when called upon for further investigation. He shall also be bound by all the conditions as con- tained in Section 438 (2) Cr.P.C. The petition stands disposed of. (RAJESH BINDAL) JUDGE 20.09.2011 sharmila
