Crl. Misc No. M-30566 of 2009 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Crl. Misc No. M-30566 of 2009 Date of decision : 11.11.2009 Budhan Singh ....Petitioner V/s State of Haryana ....Respondent BEFORE : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJAN GUPTA Present: Mr. N.D. Achint, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Tarun Aggarwal, Sr. DAG Haryana. RAJAN GUPTA J. (ORAL) This is a petition under Section 438 Cr.P.C. praying for anticipatory bail in a case registered against the petitioner under Sections 323, 325, 452, 148, 149, 506 IPC vide FIR No. 230 dated 20.10.2009. Learned counsel for the petitioner has argued that the petitioner and complainant are living in the same premises and dispute had arisen between them due to late night party being hosted by the complainant. According to the counsel, only simple injuries have been caused in the occurrence and, thus, the petitioner is entitled to the concession of pre-arrest bail. Learned counsel for the State has, however, opposed the prayer for bail on the ground that number of injuries were caused in the incident to one Major Ajay. According to the counsel, multiple fractures were suffered by him on his face. He also submits that custodial interrogation of the Crl. Misc No. M-30566 of 2009 2 petitioner is required in view of the serious nature of crime committed by him. I have heard counsel for the parties. It appears that Major Ajay who was a visitor at the house of the complainant suffered multiple fractures on his face in the alleged occurrence. Keeping in view the serious nature of crime committed and the number of injuries caused, I do not find it a fit case for granting the concession of pre-arrest bail to the petitioner. His custodial interrogation may be required to take the investigation to its logical end. Dismissed. 11.11.2009 (RAJAN GUPTA) Ajay JUDGE
