Criminal Misc. No.M-19224 of 2008 -1- **** IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Criminal Misc. No.M-19224 of 2008 Date of decision : 11.9.2008 Karamjeet Singh alias Kala .....Petitioner Versus State of Punjab ...Respondent **** CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE S. D. ANAND Present: Mr. G.S.Sidhu,Advocate for the petitioner Ms. Manjri Nehru, Deputy Advocate General, Punjab S. D. ANAND, J. At the time of motion hearing, learned counsel for the petitioner made a precise averment that petitioner was a juvenile and ought to have been tried by the Juvenile Justice Board. That averment has been falsified by the information obtained from the learned Trial Judge who has reported that petitioner Karamjeet Singh had withdrawn his application in the context on 27.10.2006. Learned Trial Judge noticed that Karamjeet Singh petitioner, had produced on record attested copy of matriculation certificate wherein his date of birth had been recorded as August 3, 1988. Learned counsel, then, proceeds to argue that the petitioner deserves bail as there is no incriminating role attributed to him in the murder of Bhola Singh. Learned State counsel resists the averment and points out that petitioner had been attributed a precise role in the FIR (Annexure P-1). Criminal Misc. No.M-19224 of 2008 -2- **** As would be evident from perusal of FIR (Annexure P-1) the allegations therein in the course of FIR are as under:- Bhola Singh deceased was married to Gurmeet Kaur. Their union led to birth of a daughter and a son. Gurmeet Kaur was otherwise a woman of easy virtue and was on that account visited by a number of people including Beant Singh son of Gurcharan Singh who (Beant Singh) is uncle of petitioner Karamjeet Singh. Learned counsel for the petitioner has placed on file statement made by PW-7 Mander Singh at the trial. There is a precise role attributed to the petitioner in the context of the impugned occurrence. Beant Singh and also Gurmeet Kaur made an extra-judicial confession attributing a role to the petitioner as well. That role in the context of being a co-conspirator in the impugned murder. In the circumstances of the case, present is not a fit case for the release of the petitioner on bail particularly when motion order had been secured on the basis of patently incorrect averment.
