No. M-22699 of 2010 (O&M) Date of decision : 16.8.2010 Prem ...Petitioner Versus State of Punjab ...Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJAN GUPTA Present: Mr. Sarju Puri Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr. Shailesh Gupta, Deputy Advocate General, Punjab. Rajan Gupta, J. (oral) This is a petition under Section 438 Cr.P.C. seeking pre- arrest bail in a case registered against the petitioner under Sections 307, 324, 323, 452, 342, 506, 511, 148 and 149 IPC at Police Station City S.B.S. Nagar, District S.B.S. Nagar, vide FIR No.61 dated 15th May, 2010. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has been attributed the injury on the non-vital part of the body of the complainant. According to him, the petitioner is entitled to concession of pre-arrest bail in the facts and circumstances of the case. Learned State counsel opposed the prayer for anticipatory bail. He submits that the petitioner initiated the entire occurrence. According to him, he came outside the house of the complainant in a state of intoxication but left after some time. He came again along with co-accused and assaulted the complainant and his family members. Crl. Misc. No. M-22699 of 2010 2 I have heard learned counsel for the parties and given careful thought to the facts of the case. It is evident that the allegations against the petitioner are serious. In the FIR, it has been alleged that when petitioner came alongwith his co-accused and red chili powder was thrown in the eyes of the complainant and his family members who were unable to see. Thereafter, blows were dealt on their person with various weapons such as Kirpan, iron rod, sticks etc. I am of the considered view that the petitioner is not entitled to concession of pre-arrest bail. The petition is devoid of merit and the same is hereby dismissed. (RAJAN GUPTA) JUDGE 16.8.2010 'rajpal'
