JUSTICE ALOK SINGH Present: - Mr. L.S Goraya, Advocate, for the petitioner. Ms. Bhavna Gupta, DAG, Punjab. 1.Whether Reporters of local papers may be allowed to see the judgment? 2.Whether to be referred to the Reporters or not? 3.Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? ***** ALOK SINGH, J (ORAL) This is an application seeking anticipatory bail in case FIR No.137 dated 25.6.2010 under Sections 420/465/467/468/471 IPC, Police Station City, Gurdaspur. Learned counsel for the petitioner states that in compliance of order dated 25.4.2011, petitioner has reported to the police station four times to join the investigation, however, petitioner was not allowed to join the investigation. Ms. Bhavna Gupta, learned Deputy Advocate General, Punjab, on instructions from ASI Manjit Singh, states that petitioner never reported to the police station in compliance of order dated 25.4.2011. She has further stated that police has already moved an application before the Magistrate to declare the petitioner proclaimed offender way back on 19.11.2010. CRM No. M-10572 of 2011 (O&M) -2- On being asked, who was the officer who has not permitted the petitioner to join the investigation, learned counsel for the petitioner is not able to name any police officer. Had petitioner gone to the police station to join the investigation, she would have moved the application before the SHO or the higher authorities complaining that despite of her reporting to the police station she was not allowed to join the investigation. There is nothing on record to suggest that petitioner ever reported to the police station for joining the investigation. Since petitioner has failed to join the investigation in compliance of order dated 25.4.2011, I am not inclined to grant discretionary relief of anticipatory bail to the petitioner. Dismissed. Order dated 25.4.2011 stands revoked. (Alok Singh) Judge May 25, 2011 R.S.
