State of Punjab …..Respondent CORAM: HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE M.M.S. BEDI. -.- Present:- Mr. S.P.S. Sidhu, Advocate for the petitioners in both the cases. Mr.Abhishekh Chautala, AAG, Punjab. Crl. Misc. No.M-26445 of 2010 [2] Ms. Pooja Chopra, Advocate for the complainant. -.- M.M.S. BEDI, J. (ORAL) This order will dispose of two petitioners bearing Crl. Misc. Nos.M-26445 and M-27288 of 2010 for the grant of pre-arrest bail in a case registered at the instance of Tarsem Lal alleging that on July 22, 2010 complainant and his brother Pardeep Kumar and others were attacked by the petitioners alongwith Mangat Ram and Sandeep Kumar. Petitioners Prem Kumar was armed with sword while Manohar Lal and Ashok Kumar were armed with gandasi and dang respectively. Prem Kumar is alleged to have inflicted a sword blow on the left hand of the complainant, whereas Manohar Lal had allegedly inflicted a gandasi blow from the sharp side on the right leg and knee of the complainant and Ashok Kumar had given three dang blows to Jaswinder Singh, who has been arrived at the spot, on his left shoulder and fingers of the right hand. Counsel for the petitioners has submitted that petitioner Tarsem Lal had received four injuries out of which two are incised wound on the head whereas two injuries on his left forearm regarding which an MLR was prepared. Counsel for the petitioners submits that it is a case of cross-version as the injuries have been received by petitioner Manohar Lal, as Manohar Lal has received grievous injuries. Crl. Misc. No.M-26445 of 2010 [3] Counsel for the State as well as counsel for the complainant have opposed the petitions for pre-arrest bail contending that the cross- version has been found to be false. I have considered the facts and circumstances of this case. No doubt, Manohar Lal has been attributed simple injury with gandasi but the fact that armed with sword, gandasi and lathi, the petitioners had attacked the complainant resulting in grievous injuries with sharp edged weapon as well as with blunt weapons. No extraordinary exceptional circumstances exist for the grant of pre-arrest bail to the petitioners. It is also not out of place to mention here that the petitioners have earlier also not been involved in the case of assault registered at the instance of Iqbal Singh in FIR No.40 dated March 20, 2010. In view of the said conduct also, the petitioners are not entitled to the grant of pre-arrest bail. Dismissed. Nothing said in this order will prejudice the rights of the petitioners for seeking the concession of regular bail, in accordance with law. September 27, 2010 (M.M.S.BEDI) sanjay JUDGE
