IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH CRM-M-36382-2011 Date of decision:21.12.2011 Pardeep ...Petitioner Versus State of Haryana ...Respondent CORAM: HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE RAKESH KUMAR JAIN Present: Mr. Parminder Singh, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr. Sagar Deswal, AAG, Haryana. ***** RAKESH KUMAR JAIN, J. (ORAL) This is a petition for pre-arrest bail in a case registered vide FIR No.370 dated 18.10.2011, under Sections 148, 149 and 302 IPC at Police Station Sadar, District Panipat. The FIR is registered by Sandeep Kumar who has alleged that his brother Parveen Kumar was waylaid at 12.00/1.00 in the night by 4-5 persons, out of whom he had recognized Naresh Kumar and Dharmender in the headlight of his motorcycle but the others could not be recognized due to darkness. His brother Parveen Kumar succumbed to the injuries. Learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that since the complainant and the petitioner were born and brought up together, therefore, he could have easily recognized him by his voice but he had made a vague allegation that there were 4-5 other persons accompanying the said two persons who were identified by him in the headlight of his motorcycle. On the contrary, learned State Counsel has submitted that it is a case of murder in which the petitioner is also alleged to have participated and in order to complete the investigation effectively, his custodial interrogation is required. Keeping in view the facts and circumstances of the case, but without making any observation on merits, I do not find it to be a fit case for grant of anticipatory bail. Hence, the present petition is hereby dismissed. December 21, 2011 (RAKESH KUMAR JAIN) vinod* JUDGE
