Crl. Misc. -M No. 27992 of 2011 -1- IN THE PUNJAB AND HARYANA HIGH COURT AT CHANDIGARH Crl. Misc. -M No. 27992 of 2011 (O&M) Date of Decision: 21.9.2011 Anjit Singh alias Ranjit Singh ..Petitioner. Vs. State of Punjab ..Respondent. CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJESH BINDAL Present : Mr. Fariad Singh Virk, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. K.S. Pannu, Deputy Advocate General, Punjab. Ms. Harveen Kaur, Advocate for the complainant. RAJESH BINDAL, J. The petitioner is accused in FIR No.209 dated 9.7.2011 registered under Sections 307, 34 IPC at Police Station Payal, District Ludhiana. Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner, who is 28 years old, is a student at Jalandhar. He has been falsely implicated in this case. There is only one grievous injury suffered by Baldev Singh on his head which has been attributed to the father of the petitioner, namely, Gurcharan Singh, who is in custody. Cause for sudden fight alleged in the FIR is throwing of animal dung cakes in the area close to the house of both the parties. The petitioner, in fact, was not present at the spot. The only allegation against him is that he had caught hold of the injured. On the other hand, learned counsels for the State as well as the complainant submitted that injury on the head of Baldev Singh was found to be grievous. Had the petitioner not caught hold of him, he could have been saved by his brother. Complainant raised Raula and took his injured brother to the hospital. After hearing the learned counsel for the parties and considering the fact that main accused who has been attributed grievous injury has already surrendered, in my opinion, the petitioner is not required to be taken into custody for interrogation. He shall appear before Crl. Misc. -M No. 27992 of 2011 -2- Investigating Officer on 1.10.2011 at 10.00 A.M. to join investigation. In case of arrest, he shall be released on furnishing of bail bonds to the satisfaction of Arresting/Investigating Officer. He shall appear before the Investigating Officer as and when called upon for further investigation. He shall also be bound by all the conditions as contained in Section 438(2) Cr.P.C. The petition stands disposed of. ( Rajesh Bindal ) 21.9.2011 Judge Meenu
