1. Crl. Misc No. M 15810 OF 2011 Nazam Singh vs State of Punjab 2. Crl. Misc No. M 15835 of 2011 Manga Singh @ Amrik Singh vs State of Punjab Present : Mr. Ajay Jain, Advocate for the petitioners. Mr. Gazi Mohd, DAG Punjab ******* This order shall dispose of Crl. Misc No. M 15810 and 15835 of 2011, as both these petitions arise from the same FIR. The petitioners seek grant of anticipatory bail in case FIR No.23, dated 9.4.2011, registered under Sections 307, 324, 323, 34, 427 of the IPC, at Police Station Joga, District Mansa. On 24.5.2011, the following contentions were noticed :- “ These are two petitions for anticipatory bail. In CRM-M No.15810 of 2011 learned counsel has argued that injuries attributed to the petitioner have been declared as simple in nature. As regards the invocation of Section 307 IPC in CRM-M No.15835 of 2011, learned counsel has argued that the fact that the allegation is only that the accused pointed a pistol but no shot was fired. As per learned counsel, in these circumstances Section 307 IPC has been wrongly invoked.” Counsel for the respondent, on instructions from HC Purshotam Kumar, has accepted these factual assertions. In the circumstances, in my opinion the custodial interrogation of the petitioners would not be required. Consequently, in the event of their arrest, the petitioners in both the petitions shall be released on anticipatory bail by the Investigating Officer to his satisfaction subject to the conditions Crl. Misc No. M 15810 of 2011 : 2 : laid down in Section 438(2) of the Cr.P.C. Petitions stand disposed of. ( AJAY TEWARI ) May 31, 2011. JUDGE `kk'
