Crl. Misc. No. M- 18352 of 2010 (O&M) 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Crl. Misc. No. M- 18352 of 2010 (O&M) Date of Decision: August 6, 2010 Varun Sharma & another ........Petitioners Versus State of Punjab ........Respondent ****** CORAM : HON'BLE MRS. JUSTICE SABINA Present: Mr. Vivek Salathia, Advocate, for the petitioners. Ms. Rajni Gupta, Addl. A.G. Punjab. Mr. Liaqat Ali, Advocate, for the complainant. SABINA, J. Petitioners have filed this petition under Section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure for grant of anticipatory bail in case FIR No.164 dated 14.7.2009, under Sections 302,148,149 of Indian Penal Code read with Section 25 of the Arms Act, 1959, Police Station City Tarn Taran, District- Tarn Taran. At the time of issuance of notice of motion on 1.7.2010, the following order was passed by this Court :- "Notice of motion for 6.8.2010. In the meantime, the petitioners are directed to surrender before the trial Court and the trial Court shall release the petitioners on interim Crl. Misc. No. M- 18352 of 2010 (O&M) 2 bail subject to its satisfaction.” Learned counsel for the petitioners has submitted that in terms of the above order the petitioners have surrendered before the trial Court on 14.7.2010 and have furnished interim bail. Learned State counsel, who is assisted by learned counsel for the complainant, has opposed the petition. Keeping in view the fact that the petitioners were found innocent during investigation, as it transpired that they were not present at the spot when the occurrence took place, it would be just and expedient to confirm the interim bail granted by this Court. Accordingly, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case the interim bail furnished by the petitioners before the trial Court in terms of order dated 1.7.2010 is made absolute. The petition stands disposed of accordingly. (SABINA) August 6, 2010 JUDGE Anand
