IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Criminal Misc. No.55184-M of 2007 Date of Decision: 23.01.2008 Harbhajan Singh alias Goldi .....Petitioner Vs. State of Punjab .....Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJESH BINDAL Present: Mr.P.C.Suman, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr.Anter Singh Brar, DAG, Punjab. Mr.Maharaj Kumar, Advocate for the complainant. *** Rajesh Bindal,J.(Oral): The prayer in the present petition is for anticipatory bail in FIR No.77 dated 3.5.2007, under Sections 324, 326, 323, 506,307, 148 and 149 IPC at Police Station Lalru. The allegations in the FIR are that all the persons were mercilessly beaten up by a group of 30-35 young persons armed with hockey sticks, swords, iron rods and dandas etc. Grievous injury is attributed to the petitioner on the head of the complainant. The delay in addition of Section 307 IPC was merely for the reason that the doctor who had initially examined the injured had been transferred and second opinion was taken from Govt. Medical College & Hospital, Sector 32, Chandigarh. Even though the petitioner was granted regular bail before Section 307 IPC CRM No. 55184-M of 2007 -2- was added, still in my opinion after addition of Section 307 IPC, the petitioner is not entitled to the concession of anticipatory bail seeing the nature of injury inflicted by him on the injured. Accordingly I do not find any merit in the present petition and the same is dismissed. (RAJESH BINDAL) JUDGE January 23, 2008 sunita
