IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Crl.Misc.No.M-10764 of 2011 DATE OF DECISION: June 02, 2011 Vikram and others …..Petitioners versus State of Haryana .....Respondent CORAM:- HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJAN GUPTA Present: Mr.N.S. Shekhawat, Advocate for the petitioners Mr.Tarun Aggarwal, Sr. DAG, Haryana .. RAJAN GUPTA, J.: This is a petition under section 438 Cr.P.C. seeking pre-arrest bail in a case registered against the petitioners under sections 454/380/448/506/34 IPC and section 3(v) of the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989 vide FIR No.192 dated 28.3.2011 at police station Civil Lines, Hisar. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that petitioners have been falsely implicated and in any case, the allegations against them are vague. According to him, main allegations are against co-accused Narender Bisla, custodial interrogation of the petitioners is not required and thus, they are entitled to concession of pre-arrest bail. Learned State counsel has opposed the prayer. He submits that petitioners are real brothers of Narender Bisla whose bail application has already been dismissed by Crl.Misc.No.M-10764 of 2011 - 2 - this court. According to him, petitioners are infact a land mafia which forcibly takes possession of the properties of innocent persons. According to him, while petitioner No.1 is involved in three other cases registered at police station Civil Lines, Hisar, petitioners no.2 and 3 are involved in 6 and 9 other cases, respectively, registered at various police stations in Hisar. I have heard learned counsel for the parties. In the instant case, FIR was lodged by Sumitra who moved application to the police alleging that she had purchased House No.508, Urban Estate-II, Hisar in the year 2009. Her brother-in-law Mahabir was residing therein alongwith his family while she was residing with her husband at Gauhati. On 10.3.2011, Mahabir had gone to attend wedding of son and daughter of his elder brother Bhawar Lal. Complainant also attended that marriage. After attending the marriage, when they returned home, they found that Narender had locked the main gate of their house. His brothers Vikram, Surender and Paul (present petitioners) also came there. They did not allow the complainant’s brother-in-law and his family to enter the house threatening that they had filed a civil suit and in case they tried to enter the house forcibly, they would be done to death. It appears that allegation is that petitioners are running a land mafia and they are involved in number of cases in district Hisar. 2 Crl.Misc.No.M-10764 of 2011 - 3 - In the facts and circumstances of the case, I am of the considered view that petitioners are not entitled to concession of pre-arrest bail. Infact, their custodial interrogation may be required to take the investigation to its logical end. The petition is without any merit and is hereby dismissed. June 02, 2011 ( RAJAN GUPTA ) pc JUDGE 3
