IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Criminal Misc.No.M-14311 of 2011 Date of Decision : May 13, 2011. Shokat .....Petitioner versus State of Haryana .....Respondent CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE SURYA KANT. Present : Mr.Satish Chaudhary, 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.165 dated 31.5.2003 registered at Police Station Nuh, District Mewat, under Sections 379 & 120-B IPC. The FIR was registered way back on 31.5.2003 and the order dated 25.9.2009 was passed by the Additional Sessions Judge, Nuh vide which the petitioner has already been declared proclaimed offender. As per the petitioner's own case, there are several cases registered against him and he claims that he could not join the investigation in the present case as he was arrested in another case on 14.9.2005. Crl.Misc.No.M-14311 of 2011 [2] In my considered view, the above stated plea is wholly misconceived as the arrest of the petitioner on 14.9.2005 was after a period of about 1½ years after registration of the present FIR. No case to grant pre-arrest bail to the petitioner is made out. Dismissed. May 13, 2011 (SURYA KANT) Mohinder JUDGE
