IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATES OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. Crl. Misc. No. M-15670 of 2011 (O&M) Date of decision : 1.6.2011 Harjinder Singh @ Razi & others ...Petitioners Versus State of Punjab & another ...Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJAN GUPTA Present: Mr. Ranjan Lakhanpal, Advocate for the petitioners. Rajan Gupta, J. This is a petition under Section 438 Cr.P.C. seeking pre-arrest bail in a complaint case in which the petitioners have been summoned to face trial under Sections 298, 500, 504, 506 read with Section 34 IPC and Sections 3/4 of the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989. A perusal of the order passed by the court of Sessions shows that the petitioners were directed to surrender before the trial court within seven days and apply for bail. The application so moved was to be decided on the same day. It appears that the petitioners without availing of the concession granted by the court below, have now approached this court. This court does not find any merit in the petition as the petitioners have not availed of the remedy. However, in the interest of justice, it is directed that in case the petitioners surrender, as directed by the court of Sessions, within one week from today, the said order shall be deemed to be operative. Disposed of. (RAJAN GUPTA) JUDGE 1.6.2011. 'rajpal'
