CRM No. M-25252 of 2009 1 IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATES OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. CRM No. M-25252 of 2009 (O&M) Date of decision: 9.9.2009 Raman Kumar ...Petitioner Versus State of Punjab ...Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJAN GUPTA Present: Mr. Balram Singh, Advocate, for the petitioner. 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 323, 324, 326, 307, 506, 452, 148, 149 IPC at Police Station Division No.6, Jalandhar, vide FIR No.260 dated 7th July, 2009. The FIR was lodged at the instance of one Som Nath, who stated that he has a shop in the name of Sodi Enterprises near Bhargav Camp at Jalandhar. On 6th July, 2009 while the complainant was sitting in his shop alongwith his nephew, certain persons entered the shop and attacked them. Number of injuries were given by the assailants. The petitioner Raman Kumar gave two iron rod blows on the back of the complainant. The complainant alleged that the assailants had attacked with intention to kill. Learned counsel for the petitioner has argued that petitioner has not been attributed any grievous injury. He, thus, deserves the CRM No. M-25252 of 2009 2 concession of pre-arrest bail. I have heard learned counsel for the petitioner and given careful thought to the facts of the case. It appears that the petitioner and his co-accused came together and assaulted the complainant side while they were sitting in the shop. Number of injuries were caused thereby to the complainant and others. The right index finger of the complainant had to be amputated. The petitioner was carrying an iron rod and gave two blows with the same to the complainant. In view of the seriousness of the allegations and the manner of commission of crime by the petitioner and his co-accused, I do not find it a fit case for extending the concession of pre-arrest bail to the petitioner. The accused formed an unlawful assembly and attacked the complainant side with deadly weapons. The petition is, thus, devoid of merit. The same is hereby dismissed.
