State of Punjab .....Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE JASWANT SINGH Present: Mr. Vivek K Thakur, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Gaurav Garg Dhuriwala, AAG, Punjab. Mr. G.S. Sandhawalia, Advocate for the complainant. JASWANT SINGH, J (ORAL) Prayer under Section 438 Cr.P.C is for grant of anticipatory/pre arrest bail in case FIR No.158 dated 25.9.2010 under Sections 323/324/326/307/452/148/149 IPC, P.S Sultanpur Lodhi. As per allegations in the FIR, petitioner-Harpreet Singh is alleged to have accompanied his brother Narinderpal Singh @ Ninda and other co-accused Gurwinder Singh @ Laddi and 8/9 unidentified boys to the house of the complainant and inflicted injuries. It is further alleged that the petitioner is alleged to have inflicted injuries on the right shoulder of the complainant with datar. Learned counsel submits that the petitioner has been falsely roped in as he was not present at the spot . It is further submitted that even otherwise the injury attributed to the petitioner is simple in nature. Learned state counsel, on instructions from SI Sukhdev Singh, contends that as per the statement of the injured Harpreet Singh son of the Crl.M.No.35485-M of 2010 #2# complainant Baldev Singh, petitioner-Harpreet Singh son of Santokh Singh is specifically named to have inflicted a blow with his datar on the right side of forehead of the complainant, which has been opined to be dangerous to life on account of fracture of the bone. After hearing learned counsel for the parties and keeping in view the seriousness of the offence as also the role ascribed to the petitioner, I find no ground to grant the concession of anticipatory bail to the petitioner. Custodial interrogation of the petitioner would be required for effective investigation. Dismissed. December 17, 2010 ( JASWANT SINGH ) manoj JUDGE
