IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. Crl. Misc. No. 80882-M of 2006 DATE OF DECISION : 22.12.2006 Chokhraj alias Yograj .... PETITIONER Versus State of Punjab ..... RESPONDENT CORAM :- HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE SATISH KUMAR MITTAL Present: Mr. K.S. Boparai, Advocate, for the petitioner. * * * Petitioner Chokhraj alias Yograj, apprehending his arrest in a non-bailable offence in FIR No. 142 dated 3.11.2006 under Sections 302, 307, 324, 148, 149 IPC and 25, 27, 54, 59 of the Arms Act, registered at Police Station Dakha, Ludhiana, has filed this petition under Section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure for the grant of anticipatory bail. I have heard counsel for the petitioner and gone through the contents of the FIR as well as the order dated 8.12.2006, passed by Sessions Judge, Ludhiana, whereby bail application of the petitioner has been dismissed. Though in the FIR, petitioner has not been named, but during the investigation, statement of injured Mandeep Singh alias Rinku was recorded, who stated that petitioner also fired from his gun towards them. Keeping in view the nature of allegations and the fact that one person has died in the occurrence, I am not inclined to grant the discretionary relief of anticipatory bail to the petitioner. Dismissed. December 22, 2006 ( SATISH KUMAR MITTAL ) ndj JUDGE
