CRM-M-32137-2011 [ 1 ] ::::::: IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH CRM-M-32137-2011 Date of decision:09.12.2011 Naresh Kumar ...Petitioner Versus State of Punjab ...Respondent CORAM: HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE RAKESH KUMAR JAIN Present: Mr. Ashish Gupta, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr. K.D.Sachdeva, Addl. A.G., Punjab. ***** RAKESH KUMAR JAIN, J. (ORAL) This is a petition for grant of regular bail in a pending trial case registered vide FIR No.27 dated 30.01.2011, under Sections 308, 341, 323, 148, 149, 120-B of IPC at Police Station City Kot Kapura, District Faridkot. The allegation against the petitioner in the statement of Sukhbir Singh is that he had caused an injury on his forehead with the handle of the spade which has been found to be dangerous to life as per opinion of the doctor. Consequently, he is booked for the offence under Section 308 IPC as well. The petitioner had applied for bail two times before the learned Court below. His first bail application was dismissed on 04.08.2011 and his second bail application was dismissed on 07.10.2011. He was declared a proclaimed offender on 14.06.2011 and his bail application was dismissed by the learned Court below for the reason that the case was at the initial stage and it was not even committed to the Court of Sessions. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that now the case has been committed to the Court of Sessions and is fixed for evidence after framing of the charge. CRM-M-32137-2011 [ 2 ] ::::::: Learned State Counsel submits that if the petitioner is released on bail at this stage, then he is likely to influence the witnesses. Keeping in view the facts and circumstances of the case and specially the fact that the injured Sukhbir Singh is yet to be examined, I do not find it to be a fit case for grant of bail at this stage. Hence, the present petition is hereby dismissed. December 09, 2011 (RAKESH KUMAR JAIN) vinod* JUDGE
