Crl. Misc. No. M-139 of 2011 1 IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATES OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. Crl. Misc. No. M-139 of 2011 (O&M) Date of decision : 5.1.2011 Gurbachan Singh @ Bachoo & another ...Petitioners Versus State of Punjab ...Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJAN GUPTA Present: Mr. Ranjit Singh, Advocate for the petitioners. Rajan Gupta, J. (oral) This is a petition under Section 438 Cr.P.C. seeking pre- arrest bail in a case registered against the petitioners under Sections 307, 341, 323, 506 read with Section 34 IPC at Police Station Tanda, District Hoshiarpur, vide FIR No.108 dated 19th June, 2010. Learned counsel for the petitioners has argued that injuries have been caused by a blunt weapon. Thus, offence under Section 307 IPC is not made out. This apart, the petitioners have entered into a compromise with the complainant and in view of the same they are entitled to concession of pre-arrest bail. I have heard learned counsel for the petitioners and perused the record annexed with the petition. The complaint was lodged by one Harpreet Singh alleging that on 15th June, 2010 when he was going on tractor towards Tanda along with one Satpal, they were stopped on the way by the accused who were in a Tavera vehicle. Gurbachan Singh Crl. Misc. No. M-139 of 2011 2 alias Bachu and Gurpreet Singh alias Gopi alighted from the said vehicle. On exhortation of Gurbachan Singh, Gurpreet Singh attacked the complainant with a baseball bat resulting in a grievous injury, which was later declared dangerous to life. In view of the nature of the allegations, I am of the considered view that the petitioners are not entitled to the concession of pre-arrest bail. As regards the factum of compromise, it appears that the petitioners preferred a quashing petition before this court on the same ground. However, same was dismissed as withdrawn on 7th October, 2010 (Crl. Misc. No. M-29639 of 2010, Annexure P-6) with liberty to the petitioners to raise all their pleas before the trial court at the appropriate stage. I am, thus, of the view that the present petition is devoid of merit and deserves to be dismissed. The same is hereby dismissed. (RAJAN GUPTA) JUDGE 5.1.2011 'rajpal'
