IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Criminal Misc. -M No. 34048 of 2008 (O&M) Date of decision : January 31, 2009 Jaikam ....Petitioner versus State of Haryana ....Respondent Coram: Hon'ble Mr. Justice Pritam Pal Present : Mr. Sarfraj Hussain, Advocate for the petitioner Mr. SS Pattar, Sr. DAG Haryana Pritam Pal,J. (Oral) Petitioner has brought this petition under section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure for seeking anticipatory bail in case FIR No.261 dated 25.7.2008 under sections 324, 326 IPC registered at Police Station Nuh District Mewat. Petitioner is alleged to have caused a fracture on the person of complainant with an axe. He is absconding in this case since July, 2008. After obtaining a medical legal report, section 326 IPC has also been added in this case. It is well settled that the provisions under section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure are to be invoked sparingly and in exceptional circumstances which are lacking in this case. Hence no ground for granting anticipatory bail is made out. Criminal Misc. is dismissed. ( Pritam Pal ) January 31, 2009 Judge 'dalbir'
