IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Criminal Misc. No. M-28378 of 2009 Date of decision : November 09, 2009 Tej Bahadar Singh alias Raju ....Petitioner versus State of Punjab ....Respondent Coram: Hon'ble Mr. Justice L.N. Mittal Present : Mr. Simran Singh, Advocate for Mr. PS Khurana, Advocate, for the petitioner Mr. Gaurav Garg Dhuriwala, AAG Punjab L.N. Mittal, J. (Oral) Tej Bahadar Singh alias Raju has filed this petition for bail in case FIR No. 191 dated 29.7.2009 under sections 379, 411, 420, 467, 468, 471 IPC, Police Station Sadar Khanna, District Ludhiana. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the case file. According to the prosecution version, the petitioner was caught while driving a stolen car along with Jagdeep Singh who was sitting in the car. The car had been stolen from Agra. Registration number of the car was UP-80-BC-4701 but the car was having number plate of No. HR-02-S-5869. Learned counsel for the petitioner contended that the petitioner's co-accused Jagdeep Singh has since been granted bail by the Criminal Misc. No. M-28378 of 2009 -2- Sessions Court and therefore, the petitioner on the ground of parity is also entitled to bail. The contention has been countered by learned State counsel by submitting that the petitioner was driving the stolen car while Jagdeep Singh was sitting therein and therefore, the petitioner cannot claim parity with Jagdeep Singh. Keeping in view all the circumstances but without commenting anything on merits, the petitioner does not deserve the concession of bail. Dismissed. ( L.N. Mittal ) November 09, 2009 Judge 'dalbir'
