Cr.Misc. M 21667 of 2011 1 IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATES OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. Cr.Misc. M 21667 of 2011 Date of decision: 13.10.2011 Jai Singh petitioner vs State of Haryana respondent Present:- Mr. Manoj Kaushik, Advocate Ms. Sushma Chopra, Addl.A.G.Hry Mr. VS Aggarwal, Advocate M.M.S.BEDI, J. The petitioner seeks the concession of pre-arrest bail in a criminal case of the year 2000. The petitioner is alleged to have fired at the complainant. Co-accused of the petitioners were convicted whereas the petitioner remained an absconder. The petitioner claims that he has been falsely implicated and that he did not have any notice regarding pendency of the proceedings. After hearing counsel for the parties, prima facie it appears that the claim of the petitioner that he did not have any knowledge regarding the pendency of the criminal case against him, is unacceptable as it is improbable that his co-accused being his real brothers, did not inform him about the criminal proceedings. The petitioner has tried to raise the plea of alibi, which is not considered lest it should prejudice the right of the petitioner. The petitioner being a proclaimed offender is not entitled to the concession of pre-arrest bail. No doubt the petitioner has appeared before the CJM, Bhiwani pursuant to the interim order passed by this court Cr.Misc. M 21667 of 2011 2 but the said interim relief will not ipso facto confer any right to the petitioner to seek the concession of pre-arrest bail. Taking into consideration the conduct of the petitioner, he is not entitled to the concession of pre-arrest bail. Dismissed without prejudice to the right of the petitioner to seek regular bail in accordance with law by surrendering before the Illaqa Magistrate. October 13 , 2011 (M.M.S.BEDI ) TSM JUDGE
