IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Crl. Misc. No. M-11130 of 2010 Date of decision : 19.5.2010 Paramjit Singh …. Petitioner Versus State of Punjab ….. Respondent Present : Mr. JBS Gill, Advocate for the petitioner. *** S.S. SARON, J. Heard counsel for the petitioner. The petitioner earlier filed Crl. Misc. No. M-7360 of 2009 for grant of bail which was dismissed vide order dated 19.1.2010. Learned counsel for the petitioner has contended that after the dismissal of the earlier application for the grant of bail, the statement of Dr. Gurinderjit Singh, Medical Officer, Civil Hospital, Garshankar (PW3) has been recorded by the learned trial Court on 17.2.2010. It is submitted that in the FIR the role attributed to the petitioner is that he gave a blow with a baseball bat on the person of deceased Satbir Singh. However, Dr. Gurinderjit Singh (PW3) who has been examined has not found any injury on the right ear of Satbir Singh (deceased). It is also submitted that the persons who had Crl. Misc. No. M-11130 of 2010 [2] caused injuries to the witnesses have been granted regular bail. Therefore, it is submitted that the petitioner is entitled for regular bail. After giving my thoughtful consideration to the matter, I find no merit in the same. The trial in the case is going on. The FIR has been registered on the statement of Mohinder Singh who along with his nephew Satbir Singh, Sarpanch and driver Kuldip Singh as also servant Tarlochan Singh @ Tota were sleeping in a room of their Haveli on the intervening night of 19/20.3.2008. While they were sleeping someone called out for Satbir Singh, Sarpanch. Complainant Mohinder Singh along with Satbir Singh, Sarpanch, Kuldip Singh and Tarlochan Singh went near the gate of the Haveli and Satbir Singh opened the gate. It was 3.00 a.m. in the morning. They saw Hardeep Singh @ Deepa, Jaskaran Singh, Hardev Chopra, Paramjit @ Pamma son of Mohinder Pal residents of village Pandori, Ladha Singh, Paramjit Singh (petitioner) son of Jaswant Singh resident of village Kalewal Bhagtan and two more unidentified young men who they could not identify; besides, two unidentified women aged 25/30 years. Hardeep Singh @ Deepa was known to the complainant Mohinder Singh and Satbir Singh Sarpanch. They wanted that they should be allowed to stay in the room of the Haveli along with the said women. This was objected to by Satbir Singh, Sarpanch as he stated that he was a Sarpanch of the village and a respectable person and he could not indulge in such activities in the Haveli. On this, injuries were caused to Satbir Singh, Sarpanch who died. The petitioner is attributed to have given injury with a baseball bat to Satbir Singh, Sarpanch on his right ear. The fact that the said Crl. Misc. No. M-11130 of 2010 [3] injury has not been noticed in the postmortem report is not to be considered at this stage. The same is to be gone into and considered by the learned trial Court. The allegations against the petitioner are that he entered the haveli of Satbir Singh, Sarpanch at 3.00 a.m. in the morning along with others and had insisted upon letting him and the women that were with him to stay overnight in the haveli. The baseball bat which is stated to be carried by the petitioner has since been recovered. In the aforesaid facts and circumstances and also keeping in view the order dated 19.1.2010, no ground for bail is made out. Crl. Misc. petition is accordingly dismissed. It is hoped that the learned trial Court would expedite the trial of the case. (S.S. SARON) JUDGE May 19, 2010 amit
