Crl. Misc. No. M-35207 of 2010 1 IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATES OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. Crl. Misc. No. M-35207 of 2010 (O&M) Date of decision : 01.12.2010 Pargat Singh ...Petitioner Versus State of Punjab ...Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJAN GUPTA Present: Mr. L.M. Gulati, Advocate for the petitioner. Rajan Gupta, J. (oral) This is a petition under Section 438 Cr.P.C. seeking pre- arrest bail in a case registered against the petitioner under Sections 457, 380, 382 & 392 IPC at Police Station Sadar, Amritsar, District Amritsar, vide FIR No.390 dated 21st September, 2009. Learned counsel for the petitioner has argued that FIR was registered on 21st September, 2009 but petitioner is sought to be arrested now on the basis of a supplementary statement recorded by the investigating agency. According to him, a possibility of false implication of the petitioner in the case cannot be ruled out. I have heard learned counsel for the petitioner and given careful thought to the facts of the case. The FIR was lodged on the complaint of one Radhey Sham who stated that on 21st September, 2009 at about 8.15 P.M. he alongwith Raju was standing near the petrol filling machine at Randhawa Filling Crl. Misc. No. M-35207 of 2010 2 Station. At that time, three clean-shaven youths came on a motor cycle. Out of these two stopped outside while one entered the office. He stole Rs.3200/- from there and fled. In view of seriousness of the allegations and the stage of investigation, I am of the considered view that petitioner is not entitled to the concession of pre-arrest bail. The petition is, thus, devoid of merit and is hereby dismissed. (RAJAN GUPTA) JUDGE 01.12.2010 'rajpal'
