No. 47350-M of 2007 Date of decision : February 25, 2008 Avtar Singh and another ....Petitioners Versus State of Punjab ...Respondent 2. Criminal Misc. No. 47913-M of 2007 Gagandeep Singh ....Petitioner Versus State of Punjab ...Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJESH BINDAL Present: Mr. Baltej Singh Sidhu, Advocate for the petitioners. Mr. Anter Singh Brar, Deputy Advocate General, Punjab. Mr. Sumit Makkar, Advocate for the complainant. RAJESH BINDAL J. This order will dispose of two Criminal Misc. Petitions bearing Nos. 47350-M of 2007 and 47913-M of 2007 arising out of FIR No. 183 dated August 27, 2007 registered under Sections 307, 148, 149 IPC and under Sections 25/54/59 of the Arms Act at Police Station City, Mukatsar. The allegations against the petitioners are that they were part of a group armed with deadly weapons namely, Kaka Singh had pistol, Naresh Inder Singh had revolver, Gagandeep Singh, Avtar Singh and their 4/5 companions had 12 bore guns and pistols at the place where the auction of the cattle fare contract was to take place. The fight took place as the petitioners who were large in number apprehend that complainant party had got the auction cancelled, which was fixed for the day. Learned counsel for the petitioners submitted that none of the Criminal Misc. No. 47350-M of 2007 -2- *** injury by the complainant was attributed to any of the petitioners though they were carrying weapons as alleged. Be that as it may, this Court does not find any justification for the petitioners to carry deadly weapons in large number and go to a place where the auction was to be held, even if the same were not used and the weapons carried by other members of the group were used. Accordingly, I do not find any justification for grant of pre- arrest bail. Both the petitions are dismissed. February 25, 2008 (Rajesh Bindal) Pka Judge
