Criminal Misc. No. M-36092 of 2011 -1- IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Criminal Misc. No. M-36092 of 2011 Date of decision : December 15, 2011 Jagsir Singh ....Petitioner versus State of Punjab ....Respondent Coram: Hon'ble Mr. Justice L.N. Mittal Present : Mr. K.K. Goel, Advocate, for the petitioner Mr. RS Rawat, Assistant Advocate General, Punjab Mr. AS Cheema, Advocate, for the complainant L.N. Mittal, J. (Oral) Accused Jagsir Singh has filed this petition for anticipatory bail in case FIR No. 106 dated 1.11.2011, under sections 382, 308, 323, 148, 149 IPC and section 25 of Arms Act, registered at Police Station Dayalpura, District Bathinda. Heard. Complainant is Sarpanch of the village. He got effected compromise of some dispute but the petitioner was aggrieved against the complainant for this reason. Accordingly, the petitioner and his co-accused caused injuries to the complainant. The petitioner also snatched gold chain of three tolas of the complainant. Criminal Misc. No. M-36092 of 2011 -2- Counsel for the petitioner vehemently, repeatedly and emphatically contended that the petitioner has been falsely implicated in this case on account of political rivalry because in an earlier case lodged by him, wife, son and driver of Mr. Sikander Singh, an Akali Dal Ex-Minister have been convicted vide judgment Annexure P/4. It was also contended that in all five cases have been registered against the petitioner and he was granted anticipatory bail in another case vide order Annexure P/2. It was also contended that Mewa Singh driver of the said Ex-Minister lodged FIR which was found to be false and accordingly proceedings under section 182 I.P.C. were initiated against the said driver. Proceedings in another case against the petitioner have been stayed by this Court. It was also contended that the complainant Sarpanch is also of Akali Dal party. I have carefully considered the aforesaid contentions. However, there is no link or nexus of Ex-Minister Mr. Sikander Singh with the instant FIR. All the aforesaid contentions prima facie cannot be accepted at this stage. Allegations against the petitioner and his co-accused are of serious nature. Keeping in view all the circumstances but without meaning to express any opinion on merits of the case, in my considered opinion, the petitioner does not deserve the concession of anticipatory bail. Dismissed. ( L.N. Mittal ) December 15, 2011 Judge 'dalbir'
