Respondent *** CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE AJAY TEWARI *** Present : Mr. C.M.Munjal, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. S.S.Gill, DAG Punjab for the respondent. *** 1. Whether Reporters of Local Newspapers may be allowed to see the judgment ? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not ? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest ? *** AJAY TEWARI, J (Oral) The petitioner seeks grant of anticipatory bail in case FIR No.112, dated 21.6.2011, registered under Sections 420, 120-B of the IPC, at Police Station Guruharsahai, District Ferozepur. On 1.8.2011, the following contention was noticed :- “ Learned counsel has argued that the allegations, if any, are against one Hasham and there are no allegations against the petitioner.” Counsel for the respondent, on instructions from HC Gurjant Singh, has accepted this factual assertion but has argued that as a result of Crl.Misc No. 23023 of 2011 : 2 : subsequent inquiries, the petitioner was found to have been also involved. Be that as it may, once the petitioner is not named without going into the merits of the case, I deem it appropriate to grant the concession of bail to the petitioner. Consequently, the petitioner is directed to appear before the Investigating Officer on 5.9.2011 and on any other day on which the Investigating Officer requires his presence, and in the event of his arrest, the petitioner shall be released on anticipatory bail to his satisfaction subject to the conditions as contained in Section 438(2) of the Cr.P.C. Petition stands disposed of. ( AJAY TEWARI ) August 24, 2011. JUDGE `kk'
