CRM No.M-7908 of 2011 (O&M) Gurpreet Singh @ Laddu Vs. State of Punjab Present: Mr. R.S. Aulakh, Advocate for the petitioner. Dr. U.S. Dhaliwal, Addl.A.G., Punjab. *** AJAY TEWARI, J. (ORAL) This petition has been filed under Section 438 Cr.P.C. for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioner in case F.I.R. No.8 dated 26.01.2011 registered under Sections 307, 323, 341, 148, 149, 120-B IPC and under Sections 25, 26 and 27 of the Arms Act at Police Station Kot Isse Khan, District Moga. Learned counsel for the petitioner has argued that offence under Section 307 IPC is absolutely not made out since neither any gunshot injury was there nor any there is any recovery even of a blank cartridge. He has further argued that only action attributed to the petitioner is a blunt simple injury on a non vital part. Learned Additional Advocate General, Punjab on instructions from Head Constable Avneet Singh has accepted these factual assertions. He has further argued that merely because there was no gunshot injury and no blank cartridge was found from the spot it cannot be said that no gunshot was fired. In my opinion, it would be in the interest of justice, if the petitioner is released on anticipatory bail subject to the conditions envisaged under Section 438(2) Cr.P.C. CRM No.M-7908 of 2011 (O&M) -2- Ordered accordingly. In the event of arrest of the petitioner he shall be released on bail to the satisfaction of Investigating Officer. Petition stands disposed of.
