IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Criminal Misc. No. M-34572 of 2008 Date of decision: 12th February, 2009 Jiwan Kumar … Petitioner Versus State of Punjab … Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE KANWALJIT SINGH AHLUWALIA Present: Mr. K.S. Dhanora, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Anter Singh Brar, Deputy Advocate General Punjab for the State. KANWALJIT SINGH AHLUWALIA, J. (ORAL) A Coordinate Bench noticed that all offences, except under Section 452 IPC, are bailable and ordered that petitioner be released on interim bail. Counsel for the State has submitted that during interrogation, petitioner has not handed over weapon of offence, i.e., Kirpan and has not given his passport and there is apprehension that petitioner will flee from the country. Taking the contentions of Counsel for the State into consideration, it is directed that petitioner shall furnish regular bail bonds in the Court of Area Judicial Magistrate. Regular bail bonds so furnished, shall enure till the conclusion of the trial. The Court, if deem necessary, may take necessary steps so that petitioner is not able to flee from India. This Court cannot loose sight of the fact that the injuries caused in the occurrence are simple in nature attracting offence under Section 323 and Criminal Misc. No. M-34572 of 2008 324 IPC. If the weapon is not handed over by the petitioner, necessary inference will be drawn by the trial Court, while appreciating evidence. With these observations, present petition is disposed off.
