Mr.Padam Kant Dwivedi, Advocate, for the petitioners in CRM No.M-17399 of 2011. Mr.Arshvinder Singh, Addl. AG., Punjab. * * * M.M.S. BEDI, J. (ORAL) This order will dispose of the above noted three petitions for the grant of pre-arrest bail one filed by Lachhman Singh, Smt.Lalan Bai, Pritam Singh and Bittu Singh, another by Sona Singh and Paramjit Singh and the third one filed by Kailash Rani and Dayal Singh. The FIR was registered at the instance of Dyalo Bibi, alleging that on 10.05.2011, Lachhman Singh, Lallan Bai and Sona Singh, Paramjit Singh, Bittu Singh, Kamlesh Rani and Dayal Singh along with 5-6 unidentified persons armed with dang, sotis and kirpans entered her house and assaulted the complainant and her family members. She has specifically stated that Lachhman Singh had caused injuries to Ram Singh and Kuldip Singh. Sona Singh has been attributed a sota blow on the left knee of the complainant Dayalo Bibi whereas Paramjit Singh has been attributed a dang blow on the hand of Dayalo Bibi. It is claimed by the counsel for the petitioners that no injury is attributed to Lachhman Singh and his wife. Counsel for Kailash Rani and Dayal Singh submits . . . 2 Crl.Misc.No.M-16871 of 2011 (O&M) that there is absolutely no injury attributed to the petitioners. After hearing the counsel for the parties and going through the police file, it transpires that Lachhman Singh has been attributed an injury with sharp edged weapon on the person of Kuldip Singh. This fact is prima facie established from the X-ray report and the statement of Kuldip Singh. Taking into consideration, the statements of the witnesses and the medical evidence collected by the Investigating Agency, no ground is made out to grant the concession of pre-arrest bail to Lachhman Singh, Sona Singh and Paramjit Singh, they having been attributed specific injuries as member of an unlawful assembly. The petitions for pre-arrest bail qua Lachhman Singh, Sona Singh and Paramjit Singh are dismissed. So far as the remaining petitioners are concerned, they can be granted the concession of pre-arrest bail they having already joined the investigation. The petitions are partly allowed and partly dismissed. It is ordered that in case of arrest of the petitioners namely Smt.Lalan Bai, Pritam Singh, Bittu Singh, Kailash Rani and Dayal Singh, they will be released on bail to the satisfaction of the arresting officer subject to the conditions that they will join the investigation as and when required by the police and will not tamper with the evidence or hamper the investigation in any manner. They will also not commit the similar offence of which they are accused of during pendency of the trial. In case of violation of any of the . . . 3 Crl.Misc.No.M-16871 of 2011 (O&M) conditions, it will be open to the complainant or the Investigating Agency to seek the cancellation of bail.
