Respondent ***** CORAM: HON’BLE MR.JUSTICE RAKESH KUMAR JAIN ***** Present: Mr.Prateek Pandit, Advocate, for the petitioner. ***** RAKESH KUMAR JAIN, J (ORAL) CRM No.43450 of 2011 Application is allowed as prayed for. CRM-M-24634 of 2011 This is a petition for pre-arrest bail in a case registered vide FIR No.23 dated 16.03.2011 under Sections 382 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860 (for short ‘IPC’) at Police Station Bholath District Kapurthala. The allegation against the petitioner is that he had indulged in chain snatching. Learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that the petitioner has been implicated on the statement of co-accused, however, his bail application filed before the learned trial Court is dismissed on the ground that he is involved in other cases of chain snatching. Learned counsel for the petitioner has conceded before this Court that the petitioner is involved in two other cases but he is on bail. Be that as it may, I have found that the snatched gold chain has not been recovered so far and the antecedents of the petitioner are such that he does not deserve the concession of pre-arrest bail. Hence, the present petition is hereby dismissed. (RAKESH KUMAR JAIN) AUGUST 16, 2011 JUDGE Vivek
