CRM-M No.27925 of 2011(O&M) ::1:: IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH CRM-M No.27925 of 2011 (O&M) Date of decision : 15.11.2011 Piara Singh and another ...... Petitioners v. State of Punjab and another ...... Respondents *** CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE AJAY TEWARI *** Present : Mr. H.S. Dhindsa, Advocate for the petitioners. Mr. S.S. Gill, D.A.G., Punjab. Mr. Gulzar Mohammad, Advocate for respondent No.2. *** AJAY TEWARI, J. (Oral) This petition has been filed under Section 438 Cr.P.C. for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioners in Complaint Case No.5/1 dated 25.01.2010 under Sections 326, 325, 323, 451, 452, 506 and 34 IPC. Learned counsel for the petitioners has argued that at an earlier stage the entire matter was inquired into and the investigator had recommended the cancellation of the version put forward by the complainant-respondent No.2 in the present complaint. Learned counsel for the complainant-respondent No.2 has however argued that this had happened only because the petitioners were CRM-M No.27925 of 2011(O&M) ::2:: able to manipulate and pressurize the police. Be that as it may, at this stage a doubt has been cast which has to be in favour of the petitioners. It is obvious that if the petitioners are found guilty of any offence they would be liable to undergo whatever punishment is imposed upon them, but at present their custody would not be in the interest of justice. In the circumstances, this petition is allowed. Petitioners are directed to appear before the learned trial Court who shall release them on bail subject to the conditions envisaged under Section 438(2) Cr.P.C.
