Crl. Misc No. M-30863 of 2009 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Crl. Misc No. M-30863 of 2009 Date of decision : 08.12.2009 Om Veer ....Petitioner V/s State of Punjab ....Respondent BEFORE : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJAN GUPTA Present: Mr. Tarunveer Vashist, Advocate for the petitioner. RAJAN GUPTA J. (ORAL) This is a petition filed under Section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure seeking anticipatory bail to the petitioner in a case registered vide FIR No. 57 dated 16.03.2009 under Sections 326, 325, 324, 323, 148 & 149 IPC at Police Station Sadar Abohar, District Ferozepur. Learned counsel for the petitioner has argued that the origin of the dispute which took place between the parties is because of a civil suit which is pending in the court of Additional Civil Judge Senior Division, Abohar. According to the counsel, it is a case of cross version and it is yet to be established as to who was the aggressor. He, thus, submits that petitioner is entitled to the concession of pre-arrest bail. I have heard counsel for the petitioner and given careful thought to the facts of the case. The allegation in the FIR is that the petitioner assaulted the complainant and caused a injury on the finger as result of which the same Crl. Misc No. M-30863 of 2009 2 was chopped off. The finger had, thus, to be amputated. Keeping in view the nature of injury inflicted on the complainant, I do not find it a fit case for grant of pre-arrest bail to the petitioner. The petition is devoid of merit and is hereby dismissed. 08.12.2009 (RAJAN GUPTA) Ajay JUDGE
