Crl. Misc. No. M –14836 of 2010 (O&M) -1- IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH -.- Crl. Misc. No. M –14836 of 2010 (O&M) Date of decision:- 18.8.2010 Ramdass @ Ram Singh ... Petitioner Versus State of Punjab & Anr. ... Respondents CORAM:- HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE GURDEV SINGH Present:- Mr. Baldev Singh, Sr. Advocate, for Mr. Sudhir Sharma, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr. A.S.Brar, Sr. DAG, Punjab. Mr. Madan Sandhu, Advocate, for respondent No.2. Gurdev Singh, J (oral) Heard. The petitioner - Ramdass @ Ram Singh has filed this petition under Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure for grant of regular bail in FIR No. 11 dated 4.3.2009, registered under Sections 302/148/149 IPC, in Police Station Bareta, District Mansa. This petition is pressed on the ground that no injury to the deceased has been attributed to this petitioner and the only allegation against him is that he had called the deceased from his house and gave signal to the co-accused, who caused injuries, which resulted in his death. This FIR was registered on the basis of the statement of Pargat Singh. He came out with the version that on 3.3.2009 his brother Jagsir Singh was present in the house, when the present petitioner came there and Crl. Misc. No. M –14836 of 2010 (O&M) -1- took him with him. After reaching near Dharamshala, the petitioner engaged him in conversation and gave a signal with the help of his hand and thereafter Naib Singh, Tara Singh, Shingara Singh, Charna Singh, Gulab Singh and Kala Singh armed with dangs and sotas appeared on the scene and gave injuries to Jagsir Singh, on different parts of his body. After causing those injuries this petitioner alongwith other accused dragged Jagsir Singh to the house of Mohinder Singh. Subsequently, Jagsir Singh was got released by Sukha Singh from the custody of the present petitioner and other accused. After Jagsir Singh was got released, he was removed to the hospital where he succumbed to his injuries. In the course of investigation the statement of Darshana Kaur, Sukhdev Singh and Sukha Singh, were recorded, who supported the version of the complainant. From the evidence collected during investigation, there are reasonable grounds for believing that the present petitioner was instrumental in getting Jagsir Singh murdered. First he took him from his house and engaged him in the talks in order to enable other accused to reach the spot and cause injuries to him and then he dragged him to the house of Mohinder Singh, from where he was got released by Sukha Singh. Keeping in view the nature of the offences, the circumstances in which the same were committed and the part which has been attributed to the petitioner, I do not find any ground to release him on bail. The petition is dismissed accordingly. August 18, 2010 (Gurdev Singh) tripti Judge
