IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Date of decision : May 01, 2009 1. Criminal Misc. No. 6886 of 2009 (O&M) Kammu versus State of Haryana 2. Criminal Misc. No. 7644 of 2009 (O&M) Shakir versus State of Haryana Coram: Hon'ble Mr. Justice Pritam Pal Present : Ms Monisha Lamba, Advocate for Kammu-petitioner Mr. Sarfraj Hussain, Advocate for Shakir-petitioner Mr. Vikas Chaudhary, AAG Haryana Pritam Pal,J. (Oral) Petitioners have brought the aforesaid two petitions under section 439 of Code of Criminal Procedure for seeking regular bail in one and the same FIR No. 185 dated 3.8.2008 under sections 307, 353, 332, 186, 420, 467, 468, 471 IPC read with sections 2/3, 5/8 of Punjab Prohibition of Cow Slaughter Act read with section 25 of the Arms Act registered at Police Station Sector-31, Faridabad and thus, the same are being disposed of by this common order. The aforesaid petitions arise out of one and the same occurrence which had taken place on 3.8.2008. The allegations against the petitioners are that they were carrying the beef of 15/20 cows in the area of Sector-31, Faridabad. When their vehicle was intercepted by the police, they had also fired upon the police party. Learned State counsel submits that, in fact, the petitioners are indulging in committing the same kind of Criminal Misc. No. 6886 of 2009 (O&M) -2- offence and on that count earlier also, two cases were registered against them. However, learned counsel for the petitioners submit that in some of the cases, the petitioners have already been acquitted. However, one case is still pending. In this case no recovery of fire arm weapon was effected from any of the petitioners. The other co-accused numbering 13 are still at large and against them, the proclamation proceedings for declaring them as proclaimed offenders have been initiated. The petitioners are in custody in this case since 3.8.2008. The trial is likely to take a long time. In the given facts and circumstances and without commenting on the merits of the case, both the petitioners are ordered to be released on bail on their furnishing bail/surety bonds to the satisfaction of the Chief Judicial Magistrate, Faridabad. They are also directed to file an undertaking before the learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Faridabad that till the decision of this case, they would not commit any criminal act and be of good behaviour for a period of two years. Both the Criminal Misc. petitions are disposed of. ( Pritam Pal ) May 01, 2009 Judge 'dalbir'
