Crl. Misc. No. M-1201 of 2010 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Crl. Misc. No. M-1201 of 2010 DATE OF DECISION: January 15, 2010 Baba Balbir Singh .........PETITIONER(S) VERSUS State of Punjab ......RESPONDENT(S) CORAM:HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE AJAI LAMBA Present: Mr. R.S. Bains, Advocate, for the petitioner. AJAI LAMBA, J. (ORAL) This petition has been filed under Section 439(1) Cr.P.C. for interim bail to the petitioner in case FIR No. 84 dated 29.06.2009 under Sections 121/121-A/123/153/153-A/120-B IPC and Sections 3/4/5 of the Explosives Act and Sections 10/13 of the Unlawful Activities Act, P.S. Raikot, District Ludhiana. Learned counsel for the petitioner contends that being the Head of the Institution, the petitioner be allowed interim bail for attending Jor Mela in Gurudwara from 18th to 20th January, 2010. It transpires that charge has already been framed. The allegations against the petitioner as noticed in order Annexure P-3 are of serious and grave nature. Allegation is of hatching the conspiracy to raise war against the Government of India and to provoke the people for promoting enmity between different groups on the ground of religion and race to commit riot in India. With the above project, the petitioner alongwith co-accused Crl. Misc. No. M-1201 of 2010 2 indulged in unlawful activities. The petitioner allegedly is connected with a banned organization i.e. Khalistan Jindabad Force. Further allegation is that the petitioner and the co-accused attempted to cause exposion with intention to endanger human life and property and for that purpose kept RDX and detonator in possession. Allegedly, 32 RDX sticks and 6 detonators with wire were recovered. Considering the nature of offence and the allegations as also the fact that prima facie case is made out and charge has already been framed, I find that interim bail to allow the petitioner to attend the mela would not be conducive to peace and harmony. No ground for concession of interim bail is made out. Dismissed. 15.01.2010 (AJAI LAMBA) shivani JUDGE
