CRR No.2765 of 2009 (O & M) -1- IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH ***** CRR No.2765 of 2009 (O & M) Date of decision : 8.7.2011 Manjinder Singh .........Petitioner Vs. State of Punjab .......Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE M.M.S.BEDI : Present : None for the petitioner Mr.K.S.Sidhu, DAG, Punjab --- M.M.S.Bedi, J. (Oral) Vide impugned order, the application filed by the State for summoning Milkha Singh as an additional accused, stands dismissed. Said Milkha Singh was not named in the FIR and he was found innocent in the investigation and his name was mentioned in Coloumn No.2. He was allegedly armed with a dang and had given dang blows to the complainant hitting him on his right shoulder. The trial Court has dismissed the application on the ground that the statement of Manjinder Singh merely mentioning the name of Milkha Singh is not sufficient to summon him as an additional accused opting not to exercise the discretionary power, the application has been dismissed. I have gone through the nature of the allegation and the statement of the complainant but do not find any ground to interfere in the order which has been passed by the trial Court in exercise of its discretion under Section 319 Cr.P.C. CRR No.2765 of 2009 (O & M) -2- There does not appear to be any need to implead the person who has been sought to be added as an additional accused. Dismissed. (M.M.S.BEDI) JUDGE 8.7.2011 akm
