IN TH E HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH CRM-M-33277-2011(O&M) Date of decision:07.11.2011 Balbir Singh and another ...Petitioners Versus State of Punjab ...Respondent CORAM: HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE RAKESH KUMAR JAIN Present: Mr. H.S.Batth, Advocate, for the petitioners. ***** Rakesh Kumar Jain, J. This is a petition for grant of pre-arrest bail in a case registered vide FIR No.52 dated 20.03.2010, under Sections 307, 326, 324, 323, 148, 149, 120-B IPC and 25/27/54/59 of the Arms Act, 1959 at Police Station Lopoke, District Amritsar Rural. In the alleged occurrence, the role attributed to the petitioner No.1 is that he was armed with a Kirpan and had given an injury on the back of Nawab Singh, whereas petitioner No.2 was armed with a Datar and caused injury on the right leg of Gurmit Singh which has been declared to be grievous in nature. Learned counsel for the petitioners has submitted that it was a free fight in two groups and it is yet to be established that who was the aggressor. He has further submitted that though the injury caused by petitioner No.2 is found to be grievous in nature, but the injury attributed to petitioner No.1 falls within the ambit of Section 324 of IPC. I have heard learned counsel for the petitioners, perused the record and I am of the view that both the petitioners were armed with Kirpan and Datar respectively and have caused injuries in which one of the injuries has been found to be grievous in nature attracting Section 326 of IPC. In view thereof, I do not find it to be a fit case for grant of pre-arrest bail. Hence, the present petition is hereby dismissed. November 07, 2011 (Rakesh Kumar Jain) vinod* Judge
