Criminal Misc.-M No. 25799 of 2011 [1] IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Criminal Misc.-M No. 25799 of 2011 (O&M) Date of decision: 31.10.2011 Amandeep Singh @ Amna .. Petitioner Vs. State of Punjab .. Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJESH BINDAL Present: Mr. Yogesh Goel, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. K. S. Pannu, Deputy Advocate General, Punjab. ... Rajesh Bindal J. Prayer in the present petition is for grant of pre-arrest bail to the petitioner. Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that initially the FIR was registered under Sections 336/323/506/294/148/149 IPC. The petitioner surrendered before the court below on 26.4.2010 and was released on bail. Offence under Section 307 IPC was added on 19.8.2010 on account of alleged pellet injuries suffered by Jagtar Singh alias Gugri and Jagdeep Singh. The submission is that as alleged in the FIR, the petitioner was carrying a kirpan and had caused injury with the handle thereof on the fore-head of the complainant. The injury having been found to be simple in nature, the petitioner was granted bail. There are no specific allegations against the petitioner regarding using fire-arm. The fire-arm may have been used by the persons on the complainant side in the air, which resulted in pellet injuries to Jagdeep Singh and Jagtar Singh. On the other hand, learned counsel for the State submitted that in the FIR, it has been specifically stated that the petitioner along with Criminal Misc.-M No. 25799 of 2011 [2] Avtar Singh alias Sunny and 6-7 other persons came there with deadly weapons and rifles and fired shots as a result of which Jagdeep Singh suffered pellet injuries on the fore-head, chest, left arm and left knee, whereas Jagtar Singh suffered pellet injuries on the chest, chin, left eye and muscles of left arm. Considering the aforesaid facts, the petitioner does not deserve concession of bail, as his custodial interrogation is required to find out the names of the persons who were accompanying him when firing had taken place. After hearing learned counsel for the parties and considering the fact that the petitioner has been named in the FIR stating that he along with other persons had used deadly weapons and rifles, which resulted in pellet injuries to Jagdeep Singh and Jagtar Singh on various parts of the body, in my opinion, the petitioner does not deserve concession of pre- arrest bail. Dismissed. (Rajesh Bindal) Judge 31.10.2011 mk
