IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATES OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. Cr.Misc. M26853 of 2011 Date of decision: 5.9.2011 Balwinder Singh and others petitioner vs State of Punjab respondent Present:- Mr. KS Kahlon, Advocate. M.M.S.BEDI, J. The petitioners seek the concession of pre-arrest bail as they have got an apprehension that on 6.9.2011, when the case is fixed for consideration of charges, they will be sent behind bars as the trial court is likely to frame charges u/s 326 IPC though they were not challaned u/s 326 IPC. The learned Additional Sessions Judge has dismissed the application by giving reasoning that the petitioners have got a remedy to file a revision against the order framing charges but simultaneously forming an opinion that in view of the seriousness of the offence u/s 326 IPC, the petitioner cannot be granted the concession of pre-arrest bail. Since till date neither challan u/s 326 IPC has been presented nor charges have been framed u/s 326 IPC, this petition is disposed of as pre-mature but in order to safe guard the rights of the petitioners , in the interest of justice, it is ordered that in case the trial court opts to frame charges against the petitioners u/s 326 IPC, the petitioners will not be taken into custody and their arrest in offence u/s 326 IPC will remain stayed for a period of ten days so to enable them to avail the legal remedy, as per law. Copy of the order be given dasti under the signatures of the Court Secretary. September 5 , 2011 (M.M.S.BEDI ) TSM JUDGE
