Crl. Misc. No. M-1513 of 2010 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. Case No. : Crl. Misc. No. M-1513 of 2010 Date of Decision : January 21, 2010 Gurnam Singh .... Petitioner Vs. State of Punjab .... Respondent CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE L. N. MITTAL * * * Present : Mr. Sansar Kundu, Advocate for the petitioner. * * * L. N. MITTAL, J. (Oral) : Gurnam Singh has filed this second petition for anticipatory bail in case FIR No.30 dated 19.02.2009, under Sections 326, 324, 323 and 34 of the Indian Penal Code (in short – IPC), registered at Police Station Dharamkot, District Moga. I have heard learned counsel for the petitioner and perused the case file. Earlier petition filed by petitioner Gurnam Singh along with Gurinderjit Singh for anticipatory bail bearing Crl. Misc. No. M-33680 of 2009 was dismissed as withdrawn qua Gurnam Singh vide order dated 28.11.2009 (Annexure P-3). Admittedly, thereafter no fresh ground has arisen in favour of the petitioner for seeking anticipatory bail. On the other hand, the petitioner has not surrendered to the process of law during the period of almost two months after previous petition for anticipatory bail Crl. Misc. No. M-1513 of 2010 2 moved by the petitioner was dismissed as withdrawn. In addition thereto, grievous hurt with sharp weapon falling within the ambit of Section 326 IPC is also attributed to the petitioner and for this reason as well, the petitioner is not entitled to concession of anticipatory bail. On the other hand, the petitioner is absconding from process of law and is abusing the process of law by moving the instant second petition for anticipatory bail and so, the petitioner has to be burdened with heavy cost. For the reasons recorded herein above, but without meaning to express any opinion on merits, the instant petition for anticipatory bail is dismissed with cost of Rs.5,000/-, to be deposited with the Registry of this Court. If the cost amount is not deposited within one month from today, the case shall be listed for this purpose. January 21, 2010 ( L. N. MITTAL ) monika JUDGE
