Whether Reporters of Local Newspapers may be allowed to see the judgment ? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not ? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest ? *** AJAY TEWARI, J (Oral) The petitioner seeks grant of anticipatory bail in case FIR No.73, dated 12.10.2011, registered under Sections 353, 186, 332, 342, 148, 149 of the IPC at Police Station Khanauri, District Sangrur. On 9.11.2011, the following contention was noticed :- “ Learned counsel for the petitioner states that except for being named in the FIR no role has been attributed to the petitioner and that the petitioner has no connection either with the complainants Parkasho and Rani nor with the police officials and nor with Bateri and Balinder.” Counsel for the respondent, on instructions from ASI Satnam Singh, has fairly accepted the fact that except for being named in the FIR and present at the spot, no other role has been attributed to the petitioner. CRM- M 33817 of 2011 ::2:: In these circumstances, without commenting upon the merits of the case, I deem it appropriate to grant the concession of anticipatory bail to the petitioner. Consequently, the petitioner is directed to appear before the Investigating Officer on 28.11.2011 or on any other day on which he requires the presence of the petitioner, and in the event of his appearance, the petitioner shall be released on anticipatory bail by the Investigating Officer to his satisfaction subject to the conditions as laid down in Section 438(2) of the Cr.P.C. Petition stands disposed of. ( AJAY TEWARI ) November 18, 2011. JUDGE `kk'
