IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Crl.Misc.No.M-18636 of 2011 Date of Decision:- 09.06.2011 Tarjinder Singh @ Tejinder Singh ....Petitioner(s) vs. State of Punjab ....Respondent(s) *** CORAM:- HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE AUGUSTINE GEORGE MASIH *** Present:- Mr.Sachin Sharma, Advocate, for the petitioner. *** AUGUSTINE GEORGE MASIH, J. (Oral) The petitioner was granted concession of interim bail in an application moved under Section 438 Cr. P.C. He was directed to join investigation within a period of four days which he failed to do on 31.5.2011 at 8.00 P.M. when he was asked to join the investigation. It is stated by the Investigating Officer that he did not cooperate with the same on 1.6.2011 when the case was taken up for hearing before the Sessions Judge, Amritsar, as neither the petitioner nor his counsel was present to controvert the assertion made by the Investigating Officer before the trial Court. Faced with this situation, the Court had rejected the application of the petitioner for grant of pre-arrest bail. The order passed by the Court below is in accordance with law and, therefore, does not call for any interference. Counsel for the petitioner, at this stage, submits that the petitioner would surrender before the trial Court and move an application for grant of regular bail which may be considered and decided at an early Crl.Misc.No.M-18636 of 2011 -2- date. In case the petitioner surrenders before the trial Court on or before 14.6.2011 and moves an application for grant of regular bail, the same shall be considered and decided expeditiously.
