Crl. Misc. No.M-16087 of 2011 (O&M) ****** Kuldeep Singh Vs. State of Punjab Present : Mohd. Yousaf, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. S.S. Chandumajra, D.A.G., Punjab. Mr. Mandeep Kumar, Advocate for the complainant. ******* AJAY TEWARI, J. (ORAL) This petition has been filed under Section 438 Cr.P.C. for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioner in case F.I.R. No.53 dated 05.05.2011 registered under Sections 458, 323, 427, 148, 149 IPC at Police Station City Malerkotla, District Sangrur. On 24.05.2011 the following contention was noticed:- “Learned counsel has argued that the only Section which is non-bailable is Section 458 IPC and the petitioner who is a Government Servant, was on duty.” Apart from that learned counsel for the petitioner has argued that in the present case earlier injuries were caused to the son of the petitioner and another person from their party. On instructions from S.I. Jaspal Singh learned Deputy Advocate General has stated that the cross case has been registered. Learned DAG has also not denied the authenticity of Annexure P-3 (Attendance Register). Crl. Misc. No.M-16087 of 2011 (O&M) -2- Learned counsel for the complainant has however argued that present is a case where the petitioner has entered the house of the complainant and even attacked the old mother of the complainant. In my considered opinion, it is clear that it is a case where both the parties have inflicted injuries on each other. In the circumstances, without going into the merits of the case, I deem it appropriate to grant the concession of anticipatory bail to the petitioner. Ordered accordingly. In the event of arrest of the petitioner, he shall be released on bail to the satisfaction of SHO/Investigating Officer subject to the conditions laid down under Section 438(2) Cr.P.C.
