In the High Court for the States of Punjab and Haryana at Chandigarh. CRM-M 14355 of 2009 (O&M) Decided on Aug 12,2009. Swaran Singh -- Petitioner vs. The State of Punjab --Respondent. CORAM:HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE RAKESH KUMAR JAIN Present: Mr.H.S.Sandhu,Advocate, for the petitioner Mr.K.D.Sachdeva,Addl.A.G.Punjab, for the respondent/State. Rakesh Kumar Jain, J: Apprehending his arrest, the petitioner has applied for anticipatory bail in case registered vide FIR No.222 dated 18.9.2007 under Sections 302,148,149 IPC and 25/27/54/59 of the Arms Act, at Police Station, Sadar, Ferozepur, in which he has been summoned in the proceedings under Section 319 Cr.P.C. Learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that the petitioner was found innocent during investigation by the police and even if he was allegedly member of unlawful assembly, he was only armed with . 315 bore gun and had fired in the air without causing any injury. He further submits that interim order of his arrest was granted by this Court and in terms of which he had appeared before the Court below and has been released on bail. CRM-M 14355 of 2009 (O&M) -3- As against this, learned State Counsel has vehemently argued that the petitioner does not deserve any concession of anticipatory bail and his participation in the crime is writ large as he was armed with .315 bore gun and had initiated the occurrence by raising alarm. Not only that, he also fired a shot in the air. It is further submitted that in the said incident, Sarup Singh son of Gajjan Singh, Manjit Singh son of Mohinder Singh and the petitioner who is the son of Gajjan Singh, were all carrying fire arms and caused the death of Jagsir Singh. After hearing the learned counsel for the parties and keeping in view the gravity of the offence, I do not find it to be a fit case for grant of anticipatory bail. Hence the bail application is hereby dismissed. Aug 12,2009 (Rakesh Kumar Jain) RR Judge
