Petitioners VERSUS State of Punjab. .. Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE M.M.S.BEDI PRESENT Mr.Ashok Singla, Advocate, for the petitioners. Mr.Kiratpal Singh Sidhu, DAG., Punjab. M.M.S.BEDI, J (ORAL). Petitioners seek the concession of pre-arrest bail in a case registered at the instance of complainant Bishnu Dutt, alleging that the petitioners along with their co-accused had committed the theft of wheat and trolley after giving threats to the complainant and his neighbourers. The petitioners were allegedly armed with weapons at the time of commission of offence of theft. A perusal of the police file indicates that the proceedings under Section 145 Cr.P.C. regarding the land in dispute were initiated at the instance of petitioners. There appears to be a serious dispute regarding ownership and possessory rights over the land in dispute. The petitioners have joined investigation. State counsel has contended that the recoveries are yet to be effected. . . . 1 Crl.Misc. No.M-17013 of 2011 Counsel for the petitioners has referred to an order dated 09.05.2011, passed by the Judicial Magistrate First Class, Abohar, wherein while granting regular bail to one of the co-accused of the petitioner, it has been observed that recovery has already been effected. In view of above circumstances, the petition is allowed. In case of arrest of the petitioners, they will be released on bail to the satisfaction of the arresting officer subject to the conditions that the petitioners will join the investigation as and when required by the police and will not tamper with the evidence or hamper the investigation, in any manner. They will also not commit the similar offence of which they are accused of during the pendency of the trial. (M.M.S.BEDI) JUDGE September 08, 2011. rka . . . 2
