NIRMALJIT KAUR, J. (Oral) Petitioner-Gurlal Singh in Crl. M. No.20180-M of 2010 is seeking anticipatory bail in case FIR No.80 dated 6.5.2010 registered under Sections 307/323/148/149 IPC at Police Station Guruharsahai, District Ferozepur and Petitioner- Jaspal Singh in Crl. M. No.18870-M of 2010 is seeking anticipatory bail in a cross case i.e. DDR No.30 dated 7.5.2010 registered under Sections 324/323/148/149 IPC (subsequently offence under Section 326 IPC has been added) recorded in FIR No.80 dated 6.5.2010 at Crl. M. No.20810-M of 2010 -2- Police Station Guru Harsahai, District Ferozepur. It is stated that no doubt injury has been attributed to the Jaspal Singh under Section 326 IPC to Gurlal Singh-petitioner but it is a case of version and cross version in which Gurlal Singh also inflicted injuries to Jaspal Singh inviting Section 307 IPC against himself. It is also an admitted case that both Jaspal Singh and Gurlal Singh have received the injuries at the hands of each other. It is difficult to say at this stage as to which one of them was the aggressor being a case of cross version and injuries suffered by both sides. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the State on instructions from HC Baljeet Singh states that the petitioner-Gurlal Singh in FIR has since joined the investigation and the recovery of weapon has also been effected. However, qua the petitioner-Jaspal Singh in the cross version, it is stated that although he has joined the investigation but the weapon has yet to be recovered. Accordingly, order dated 23.7.2010 granting interim bail to Gurlal Singh in Crl. M. No.20810-M of 2010 is made absolute while order dated 6.7.2010 granting interim bail to Jaspal Singh in Crl. M. No.18870-M of 2010 is made absolute provided he shall hand over the weapon of offence by 25.8.2010. Failing which, the petition shall be deemed to be dismissed without any further order. Disposed of. A photo copy of this order be placed in the connected case. 19.8.2010 ( NIRMALJIT KAUR ) rajeev JUDGE
