Criminal Misc.-M No. 33265 of 2011 [1] IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Criminal Misc.-M No. 33265 of 2011 (O&M) Date of decision: 14.11.2011 Krishan and others .. Petitioners Vs. State of Haryana .. Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJESH BINDAL Present: Mr. J. P. Sharma, Advocate for the petitioners. Mr. G. S. Chahal, Addl. Advocate General, Haryana. ... Rajesh Bindal J. Prayer in the present petition is for grant of pre-arrest bail to the petitioners. Learned counsel for the petitioners submitted that earlier the petitioners were arrested and released on regular bail by the court below. Offence under Section 307 IPC was added four months after the alleged fight took place. In the cross case, offence under Section 307 IPC was also added against the complainant in the present case, as one of the persons on the side of the petitioners had also suffered head injury. The petitioners as well as the complainant party are neighbours. The alleged fight took place on account of a passage and the matter in dispute has now been compromised. Even otherwise, the injury allegedly suffered by Girdhari is not attributed to any of the petitioners. The same is merely swelling in right parietal region with a blunt weapon, whereas in the FIR it is alleged that an axe was used. On the other hand, learned counsel for the State submitted that offence under Section 307 IPC was added after the opinion of the doctor was received. However, he did not dispute that the injury for which offence under Section 307 IPC was added is not attributed to any of the petitioners. Criminal Misc.-M No. 33265 of 2011 [2] After hearing learned counsel for the parties and considering the submissions made above, in my opinion, the petitioners deserve concession of pre-arrest bail. They are directed to appear before the Investigating Officer on 22.11.2011 at 10.00 AM. In case of arrest, the petitioners shall be released on furnishing of bail bonds to the satisfaction of the Arresting/Investigating Officer. They shall appear before the Investigating Officer as and when called upon for further investigation. They shall also be bound by all the conditions as contained in Section 438 (2) Cr.P.C. The petition stands disposed of. (Rajesh Bindal) Judge 14.11.2011 mk
