IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Crl. Misc. No. M- 21788 of 2010(O&M) Date of Decision: September 14, 2010. Umarddin ...... PETITIONER(s) Versus State of Haryana ...... RESPONDENT(s) Present: Mr. Satish Chaudhary, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Amandeep Singh, A.A.G., Haryana. ***** RAM CHAND GUPTA, J.(Oral) This is an application for regular bail filed under Section 439 of Cr.P.C. in FIR No.67 dated 27.02.2010, under Sections 332/353/186/307/427/ 224/225 IPC and Sections 3/4 of Prevention of Damage to Public Property Act, 1984, registered at Police station Ferozepur Jhirka, District Mewat. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and gone through the record as well as the order dated 24.05.2010 passed by learned Additional Sessions Judge, Mewat vide which the application for regular bail filed by the petitioner was dismissed. Brief allegations against the petitioner-accused are that, he was a proclaimed offender in FIR No.38 dated 22.02.2010, under Sections 398/401, CRM No.M-21788 of 2010 Police Station Nagina and hence, on secret information that petitioner was present at his house, raid was conducted. However, after seeing the police, he tried to run away. He was overpowered by the police officials. He was asked to sit in the police vehicle parked at some distance. When they reached near the house of Shera then a Lalkara was raised that Umar be got freed from the police and the policemen be killed. Hence, police party was attacked with stones and lathis. Inspector Rattan Lal sustained injuries and they got freed petitioner-accused, Umarddin from the police custody. The police vehicle was also damaged as many villagers collected there. This is second bail application of the petitioner-accused. The first bail application was got dismissed as withdrawn on 09.07.2010 after arguing for some time by learned counsel for the petitioner. It has been contended by learned counsel for the petitioner that he has been continuing in custody since 05.03.2010 and that he is on bail in some cases and in some of the cases he has already been acquitted and that he was falsely implicated in this case at the behest of the police. Bail application of the petitioner-accused has been vehemently opposed by learned counsel for the State on the plea that petitioner-accused is involved in as many as 17 cases details of which has been given in a list provided by him. Further contended that there are serious allegations against the petitioner-accused and that he is likely to abscond again if released on bail. Hence, keeping in view these facts and without expressing anything on the merit of the case, I am of the view that it is not such a case in which concession of bail should be granted to the accused at this stage. Hence, the present application for bail filed by Umarddin is, hereby, dismissed being devoid of merit at this stage. 2 CRM No.M-21788 of 2010 However, learned trial Court is directed to expedite the trial.
