The respective petitioners pray for regular bail in a case registered against them on 10.8.2010 for the offences under Sections 399 and 402 IPC; besides, Section 25 of the Arms Act. The FIR in the case has been registered on the basis of information given by a special informer while the Police party headed by Inspector Surjit Singh Kundhali, Incharge Anti Gunda Staff, Hoshiarpur along with other Police officials were present at Bherepursha Mona Kalan turn. It is alleged that the respective petitioners in each of the petitions were making preparations for committing dacoity and they were apprehended by the Police party. Besides, weapons were recovered. It is not in dispute that the challan in the case has been filed and the custody of the petitioners is not required for the purposes of Cr Misc M-29883 of 2010 2 investigation. Besides, there is no other case registered against them except for FIR 110 dated 14.7.2001 for the offences under Sections 307, 324, 323 and 120B IPC at PS Model Town, Hoshiarpur. In fact, the case of the petitioners is that they were picked up in the said case on a complaint registered by an advocate at Hoshiarpur and thereafter they have been falsely implicated in the present case, otherwise they have no such criminal antecedents so as to make preparations for committing a dacoity. These aspects, however, are to be considered by the learned trial Court after evidence has been led. However, keeping in view the fact that challan in the case has been filed and the custody of the petitioners is not required for the purposes of investigation, the petitioners, on their furnishing personal bond and surety each to the satisfaction of the learned CJM Hoshiarpur, shall be admitted to bail. These petitions stand disposed of. 5.1.2011 ( S.S.SARON ) ASR Judge
