Criminal Misc. No.M-22907 of 2008 -1- *** IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Criminal Misc. No.M-22907 of 2008 Date of decision : 6.11.2008 Rattan Lal .....Petitioner Versus State of Haryana ...Respondent CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE S. D. ANAND Present: Mr. John Kumar, Advocate for Mr. Vikram Singh, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. S.S.Mor, Senior Deputy Advocate General, Haryana. S. D. ANAND, J. Though it cannot be disputed that there is no attribution in the FIR that the petitioner caused any Gandasi blow on the head, it is apparent that the injured, in the course of statement under Section 161 Cr.P.C., categorically indicated that the petitioner gave a Gandasi blow, from the reverse side, on his head. In that context, learned State counsel points out that the injured had to be hospitalised at the PGI for a considerable duration of time. Learned counsel for the petitioner argues that the declining of anticipatory bail plea might land the petitioner in administrative difficulty inasmuch as he is a public servant and he may have to be compulsively placed under suspension if he is arrested. The plea advocated does not lessen the gravity of the role attributed to the petitioner. The present is not a fit case for the grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioner. The anticipatory bail plea shall stand declined. However, in Criminal Misc. No.M-22907 of 2008 -2- *** response to a verbal averment, it is ordered that the regular bail plea, whenever it comes to be filed by the petitioner, shall be disposed of by the concerned Court within two days from the date of its filing. The acknowledgment (of copy of this order) issued by the concerned Judicial Officer shall be forwarded to the Registry of this Court. Learned Sessions Judge shall himself maintain a tab to ensure that the plea is disposed of within afore-mentioned period. Disposed of accordingly. November 06, 2008 (S. D. ANAND) Pka JUDGE
