Crl. Misc No. M 6474 OF 2011 ****** Parveen Kumar vs State of U.T.Chandigarh Present : Mr. Sunil Toni, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. D.D.Sharma, Advocate for the respondent. ******* The petitioner seeks grant of anticipatory bail in case FIR No.37, dated 19.2.2011, registered under Sections 147, 149, 323, 506, 382 of the IPC, at Police Station Sector 3, U.T.Chandigarh. On 31.3.2011, the following contentions were noticed and thereafter the following directions were issued :- “ Learned counsel for the petitioner has argued that the petitioner is a student and that his final exams are to commence and in case he is apprehended, it would have a cascade effect on his entire career. Further argued that very superficial injuries were caused to the victim. Learned State counsel, on instructions from SI Sukhchain Singh, has accepted these factual assertions. He, however, argues that the petitioner should at least make some genuine gesture of remorse. In the circumstances I direct the investigating officer to summon the complainant on 01.04.2011 at 5.30 p.m when the petitioner along with co-accused Lawrence Bishnoi shall also appear and they will apologize to the complainant.” Counsel for the respondent, on instructions from SI Sukhchain Singh, has accepted that the petitioner appeared but Lawrence Bishnoi did not appear and that the petitioner apologized to the complainant but the complainant did not accept the apology. It has to be noticed that allegations against the petitioner were not as grave as they were against the co-accused. In the circumstances, I deem it appropriate to grant the concession of anticipatory bail to the Crl.Misc No. M 6474 of 2011 :2: petitioner, since in case he is ultimately found guilty, he would suffer whatever punishment is meted out to him. Consequently, in the event of his arrest, the petitioner shall be released on anticipatory bail by the Investigating Officer to his satisfaction subject to the conditions laid down in Section 438(2) of the Cr.P.C. Petition stands disposed of. ( AJAY TEWARI ) May 05, 2011. JUDGE `kk'
