State of Punjab …..Respondent CORAM: HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE M.M.S. BEDI. -.- Present:- Mr. Sandeep Arora, Advocate for the petitioner. -.- M.M.S. BEDI, J. (ORAL) The petitioner seeks the concession of pre-arrest bail in a case of assault. Counsel for the petitioner, when asked as to why remedy under Section 438 Cr.P.C. before the Sessions Court has not been availed of by the petitioner, it has been informed that the complainant’s brother is an Crl. Misc. No. M-37445 of 2010 [2] Advocate and he had been an ex-President of Bar Association of District Courts, Jalandhar. This petition is disposed of relegating the petitioner to avail the alternative remedy by approaching the Sessions Court by December 24, 2010. Taking into consideration the circumstances and the apprehensions which seem to be misconceived, in the interest of justice, it is ordered that in case the petitioner files an application under Section 438 Cr.P.C. by December 24, 2010, he will not be arrested till December 24, 2010.
