CRM-M No. 16691 of 2011 **** Manpreet Singh v. State of Punjab Present: Mr.L.S.Padda, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. S.S. Gill, DAG, Punjab. **** This is a petition for anticipatory bail filed in case bearing FIR No. 20 dated 11.02.2011, under Sections 365/34 IPC registered at Police Station Dhariwal, District Gurdaspur. On 27.05.2011 the following contention was noticed:- “Learned counsel has argued that the allegation in the FIR is that the vehicle had first met with an accident and when Sukhdev Singh stopped the vehicle and told the driver to take it to the police station, the petitioner forcibly tried to take the vehicle to some other place and met with another accident. However, as per learned counsel the story is completely false as there is no record of any first accident and actually what had happened was that aforesaid Sukhdev Singh had taken a lift and thereafter accident had taken place and since he was absent without leave, he has made up this story. Learned counsel has further argued that the petitioner has received serious injuries.” Learned DAG, on instructions from ASI Harpal Singh, hs accepted the fact that the petitioner was equally seriously injured in the said accident. In view of this medical record and considering the fact that the accident had taken place as far back as 09.02.2011, it would be appropriate CRM-M No. 16691 of 2011 -2- to grant the concession of anticipatory bail to the petitioner. Let the petitioner appear before the investigating officer on 18.08.2011 between 10.00 a.m. and 4.00 p.m. The investigating officer shall release him on bail to his satisfaction, subject to the conditions laid down in Section 438(2) Cr.P.C. Petition stands disposed of. ( AJAY TEWARI ) JUDGE August 09, 2011 sunita
