IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Criminal Misc. No. M-865 of 2009 Date of decision : July 07, 2009 Gursagar Singh ....Petitioner versus State of Punjab ....Respondent Coram: Hon'ble Mr. Justice L.N. Mittal Present : Mr. RS Malhotra, Advocate for the petitioner Mr. Gaurav Garg Dhuriwala, AAG Punjab L.N. Mittal, J. (Oral) Gursagar Singh has filed this petition for bail in case FIR No. 173 dated 6.11.2008 under sections 489-A, 489-B, 489-C, 307 IPC and sections 25, 54 of the Arms Act, Police Station Makhu District Ferozepur. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the case file. According to the prosecution version, the petitioner and his co- accused Harpreet Singh and Manjit Singh were bringing arms and ammunition and fake currency in Maruti Van and on the basis of secret information, they were intercepted by the police. Petitioner's both co- accused escaped. Harpreet Singh fired in the air while escaping. Petitioner was apprehended at the spot. From the Van, 3 AK 56 assault rifles alongwith 100 rounds of same bore, 6 pistols, 11 magazines, 55 Criminal Misc. No. M-865 of 2009 -2- cartridges and 100 counterfeit currency notes of denomination of Rs 1000/- each (amounting to Rs 1 lac) were recovered. Learned counsel for the petitioner contends that the petitioner along with two other persons Harsharan Singh and Avtar Singh were picked up by the police on 6.11.2008 at about 7 AM from their house and illegally detained and the petitioner was falsely implicated in this case at about 10.15 PM. However, there is no material on record to substantiate this plea at this stage. Keeping in view the alleged huge recovery of arms and ammunition and counterfeit currency of considerable amount, the petitioner does not deserve the concession of bail. Dismissed. ( L.N.
