Kuldeep Singh Chatta .....Petitioner versus State of Punjab .....Respondent CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE SURYA KANT. Present : Mr.A.S.Sullar, Advocate, for the petitioner. -.- 1. Whether Reporters of Local papers may be allowed to see the judgment? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? --- Surya Kant, J. (Oral) The petitioner seeks pre-arrest bail in case FIR No.21 dated 10.2.2011 registered at Police Station Dharamgarh, District Sangrur under Sections 363, 366-A, 120-B and 376 IPC. The crucial question that has to be decided by the court of competent jurisdiction would be the age of the alleged victim. The petitioner contends that even as per the statement of father of the prosecutrix, she was more than 16 years of age at the time of alleged incident. Having heard learned counsel for the petitioner, I do not find it a fit case for grant of pre-arrest bail. The petition is accordingly dismissed, Crl.Misc.No.M-13175 of 2011 [2] however, if the petitioner surrenders and thereafter applies for regular bail, the trial Court shall consider the documents and/or the material sought to be relied upon by him. The trial Court shall decide the bail application within a period of 10 days. May 12, 2011 (SURYA KANT) Mohinder JUDGE
