CRM-M No. 14336 of 2011 **** Paramjit Singh alias Pamma vs. State of Punjab Present: Mr. P.S.Ahluwalia, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Gazi Mohammad, DAG. Punjab. Mr.Balram Singh, Advocate for the complainant. **** This is a petition for anticipatory bail filed in Criminal Complaint No. 86 dated 06.04.2004, titled as Tara Singh v. Paramjit Singh, under Sections 302, 364 and 201 IPC, pending in the Court of JMIC, Ludhiana. On 11.05.2011 the following contention was noticed:- “Counsel for the petitioner has argued that in respect of the same occurrence, an FIR was lodged as far back as 2002 wherein the petitioner was granted anticipatory bail by this Court and that he has now been ordered to be summoned in a private complaint.” Learned DAG, on instructions from ASI Narinder Singh, has accepted this factual assertion. Learned counsel for the complainant has, however, argued that in fact seven witnesses have been examined including one in whose presence the petitioner has confessed and, therefore, vehemently prayed that anticipatory bail should not be allowed. In my considered opinion in view of the undisputed factual assertion mentioned above it would not be in the interest of justice to have custodial interrogation of the petitioner. Of course, if he is found guilty he would have to suffer whatever punishment is awarded to him. Resultantly this petition is allowed. The petitioner is directed to CRM-M No. 14336 of 2011 -2- appear before the trial Court and furnish his bail bonds there. The trial Court would release him on bail to its satisfaction. Petition stands disposed of. ( AJAY TEWARI ) JUDGE May 26, 2011 sunita
