Crl. Misc. No.M-3972 of 2011 (O&M) ****** Iqbal Singh Vs. State of Punjab Present : Mr. Navjeet Singh, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. S.S. Chandumajra, D.A.G., Punjab. ******* AJAY TEWARI, J. (ORAL) This petition has been filed under Section 438 Cr.P.C. for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioner in case F.I.R. No.10, dated 11.01.2011 registered under Sections 341, 326, 324, 323, 506, 148 and 149 IPC at Police Station Payal, Khanna, District Ludhiana. Learned counsel for the petitioner has argued that the offence under Section 326 was added later on and in fact the son of the petitioner is the main accused who has since been apprehended. He has further stated that the petitioner was also suffered injuries. These facts are not denied by the learned Deputy Advocate General, Punjab after taking instructions from ASI Gurmeet Singh. In the circumstances, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, I deem it appropriate to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner. In the event of his arrest, the petitioner shall be released on anticipatory bail to the satisfaction of Investigating Officer subject to the conditions envisaged under Section 438(2) Cr.P.C. Accordingly, the petition stands disposed of. ( AJAY TEWARI ) March 03, 2011. JUDGE ashish
