IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. Crl. Misc. No. 8954-M of 2007 DATE OF DECISION : 13.02.2007 Kashmir Singh .... PETITIONER Versus State of Punjab ..... RESPONDENT CORAM :- HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE SATISH KUMAR MITTAL Present: Mr. R.S. Manhas, Advocate, for the petitioner. * * * Petitioner Kashmir Singh, apprehending his arrest in a non- bailable offence in case FIR No. 6 dated 25.1.2007 under Section 379 IPC, registered at Police Station Sadar, Pathankot, District Gurdaspur, 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 9.2.2007, passed by Sessions Judge, Gurdaspur, whereby anticipatory bail application of the petitioner has been dismissed. In this case, the petitioner, while running a screener plant with a load of 33.130 KV, was committing theft of electricity by using Kundi connection without getting any electricity connection from the department. Keeping in view the nature of allegations and the offence committed by the petitioner, I am not inclined to grant him anticipatory bail. Dismissed. February 13, 2007 ( SATISH KUMAR MITTAL ) ndj JUDGE
