Crl.M.No.M-14406 of 2010 (O&M) -1- IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. Crl.M.No.M-14406 of 2010 (O&M) Date of Decision: May 17, 2010 Baljit Singh Brar .....Petitioner v. State of Punjab ......Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE RAM CHAND GUPTA Present: Mr.Gaurav Sharma, Advocate for the petitioner. ...... RAM CHAND GUPTA, J.(Oral) The present petition filed under Section 438 Cr.P.C. is for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioner in case FIR No.131, dated 13.11.2007, under Sections 457, 380, 411 IPC, registered at Police Station Sangat, Bathinda. I have heard learned counsel for the petitioner and have gone through the whole record carefully. Brief allegations against petitioner-accused are that in the intervening night of 16/17.20.1007, some electric articles, i.e., Starters, Switches, Auto Cut were stolen from the fields of 2-3 farmers including complainant by co-accused Mewa Singh, who sold the same to present petitioner-accused. It has been contended that co-accused has already been arrested and challan has been filed against him, however, petitioner-accused has been absconding. He is receiver of stolen property, value of which is Rs.20,000/-. The same is to be recovered from him. Hence, it is not such a Crl.M.No.M-14406 of 2010 (O&M) -2- case in which extraordinary relief of anticipatory bail should be granted to the petitioner-accused. Hence, in view of these facts and without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, the present petition filed by petitioner- Baljit Singh Brar for grant of anticipatory bail is dismissed being devoid of any merit. 17.5.2010 (Ram Chand Gupta) meenu Judge
