Crl. Misc.-M No.31505 of 2011 -: 1 :- IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATES OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Crl. Misc.-M No.31505 of 2011 (O&M) Date of decision: October 31, 2011. Master Karambir Singh ... Petitioner(s) v. State of Haryana ... Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJESH BINDAL Present: Shri Jasbir Singh Mor, Advocate, for the petitioner(s). Shri G.S. Chahal, Additional Advocate General, Haryana. Rajesh Bindal , J. This order shall dispose of Crl. Misc.-M No.31505 of 2011 (Master Karambir Singh v. State of Haryana) and Crl. Misc.-M No.32588 of 2011 (Anil v. State of Haryana). Prayer in the present petitions is for the grant of pre-arrest bail to the petitioners. Learned counsel for the petitioners submitted that the alleged incident took place on account of installation of electricity pole by the complainant at a wrong place in the fields of petitioner Karambir Singh which was objected to by him. Though the pole sought to be installed by the complainant was not damaged, as stated in the FIR, still if there is any damage, petitioner Karambir Singh is ready to bear the costs thereof. It is not the case where any injury has been caused to any of the officials. Crl. Misc.-M No.31505 of 2011 -: 2 :- It is further submitted that petitioner Karambir Singh is a teacher, working in Government Girls Primary School, village Dalamwala, District Jind. The only allegation against the other accused Anil is that he was also accompanying Karambir Singh, being his nephew. There is a delay of about 18 days in lodging of the FIR. On the other hand, learned Counsel for the State submitted that immediately after the incident, petitioner Karambir Singh had given an undertaking that he will bear the cost of the pole. However, he having not done so, the FIR was got registered. He did not dispute the fact that no injury has been caused to any government official. After hearing learned counsel for the parties and considering the submissions made above, especially the stand taken by learned counsel for the petitioners that petitioner Karambir Singh will deposit the cost of the pole, which was allegedly damaged at the time of occurrence, in my opinion, the petitioners are not required to be taken into custody. They are directed to appear before the Investigating Officer on 9.11.2011 at 10 A.M. to join investigation. In case of arrest, they shall be released on furnishing of bail bonds to the satisfaction of the Arresting/Investigating Officer. They shall appear before the Investigating Officer as and when called upon for further investigation. They shall also be bound by the conditions as contained in Sections 438(2) Cr.P.C. The petitions stand disposed of. [ Rajesh Bindal ] October 31, 2011. Judge kadyan
