Crl.Misc. No.M-22351 of 2011 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Date of decision: August 12, 2011. Crl.Misc. No.M-22351 of 2011. Raj Bahadur Singh .. Petitioner VERSUS State of Punjab. .. Respondent * * * CORAM: HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE M.M.S.BEDI * * * PRESENT Mr.G.S.Sandhu, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr.Kiratpal Singh Sidhu, DAG., Punjab. Mr.N.S.Dandiwal, Advocate for the complainant. * * * M.M.S.BEDI, J (ORAL). Petitioner seeks the concession of pre-arrest bail in a case of assault registered at the instance of Sukhmander Singh alleging that on 06.03.2011, he along with his brother Surjit Singh and other family members were obstructed and were inflicted injuries by the petitioner and four others armed with lathis and rods. So far as the petitioner is concerned, he is alleged to have raised lalkara and fired two shots on the complainant with an intention to kill him. . . . 1 Crl.Misc. No.M-22351 of 2011 Counsel for the petitioner has vehemently contended that the petitioner has been falsely implicated in the case as he had earlier a matrimonial dispute with his wife Manpreet Kaur which has been settled to the displeasure of the complainants who happens to be the uncles of Manpreet Kaur. I have heard the counsel for the petitioner as well as counsel for the complainant and the State counsel and have also gone through the police file. There are five injuries inflicted in the MLR on the person of Sukhmander Singh and eight assault injuries on the person of Surjit Singh. The injuries do not seem to be self- suffered. Though, the fire shot by the petitioner had not hit the vehicle of the complainant and has passed through the windows but there does not appear any reason for falsely implicating the petitioner as he has been specifically named in the FIR to have participated in the occurrence. No extra ordinary exceptional circumstances exist for the grant of pre-arrest bail. Dismissed. However, on the basis of nature of the allegations against the petitioner, he could seek the concession of regular bail on surrendering before the Illaqua Magistrate or the Investigating Officer, in accordance with law.
