IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Criminal Misc.-M No.20893 of 2010 Kuldeep Rai Vs. State of Punjab & another Present: Mr.Suveer Sheokand, Advocate, for the petitioner. ***** RANJIT SINGH, J. The prayer for pre-arrest bail was declined by this Court on 11.10.2008 by passing the following order:- “The counsel for the petitioner says that petitioner is in the process of settling the issue with the complainant. Considering the nature of allegations, no case for anticipatory bail is made out. The petitioner would be entitled to file a fresh application for anticipatory bail in case he is able to settle with the complainant. Dismissed.” Nearly after two years now, present petition has been filed praying for grant of anticipatory bail by averring that petitioner has not been able to settle with the complainant. It is strange to notice that no action has been taken to arrest or to investigate the matter, though prayer of the petitioner for grant of anticipatory bail was rejected two years ago. The circumstances as pointed out above do not indicate any change to maintain second application for grant of anticipatory bail. Dismissed. July 23, 2010 ( RANJIT SINGH ) ramesh JUDGE
