CRM No. M-32968 of 2009 1 IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATES OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. CRM No. M-32968 of 2009 (O&M) Date of decision: 04.12.2009 Mahipal ...Petitioner Versus State of Haryana ...Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJAN GUPTA Present: Ms. Kiran Bala Jain, Advocate, for the petitioner. Rajan Gupta, J (oral). This is a petition under Section 438 Cr.P.C. seeking pre-arrest bail in a case registered against the petitioner under Sections 323, 307 read with Section 34 IPC and Section 25/54/59 of Arms Act at Police Station Safidon, District Jind, vide FIR No.280 dated 3rd August, 2009. Learned counsel for the petitioner has argued that the petitioner has also suffered injuries and remained admitted in the hospital for quite some time. According to the counsel, the petitioner Mahipal is ready to cooperate with the investigating agency in every manner and, thus, deserves to be granted the concession of pre-arrest bail. I have heard learned counsel for the petitioner and given careful thought to the facts of the case. Allegation against the petitioner is that he was armed with a CRM No. M-32968 of 2009 2 pistol at the time of occurrence. He fired at Raj Singh causing a bullet injury in his thigh. After Raj Singh fell down, petitioner again fired at him injuring him in the shoulder. Keeping in view the nature of allegations and manner of its commission, I do not find it a fit case for grant of concession of pre-arrest bail to the petitioner. In fact, custodial interrogation of the petitioner may be necessary for taking the investigation to its logical end. I, thus, find no merit in this petition. The same is hereby dismissed.
