PETITIONER(s) Versus State of Punjab. ...... RESPONDENT(s) CORAM:- HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE RAM CHAND GUPTA Present: Mr. B.P.S.Virk, Advocate for the petitioners. Mr. K.D.Sachdeva, Addl.A.G., Punjab. ***** RAM CHAND GUPTA, J.(Oral) The present petition has been filed for anticipatory bail under Section 438 of Code of Criminal Procedure in FIR No.51 dated 01.04.2010, under Sections 307/323/324/325/326/336/148/149 IPC and 25/27/54/59 of Arms Act, registered at Police Station Dhariwal, District Gurdaspur. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and have gone through the whole record. A coordinate Bench of this Court while issuing notice of motion on 11.06.2010 passed the following order:- CRM No.M-17323 of 2010 “Says that the present FIR is a counter-blast to the injuries caused by the complainant to Bikramjit Singh, who is 16 years old. Notice of motion for 20.07.2010. In the meanwhile, in the event of arrest of the petitioners, they shall be released on anticipatory bail to the satisfaction of the Arresting Officer, subject to the conditions contained in Section 438(2) Cr.P.C. They will join the investigation as and when required.” It has been stated by learned counsel for the petitioners that they have already joined the investigation pursuant to said order dated 11.06.2010. It has also been stated by learned counsel for the State that petitioners have joined the investigation and that they are no more required for any custodial interrogation. There are no allegations on behalf of the State that petitioners are likely to abscond or that they are likely to dissuade the witnesses from deposing true facts in the Court, if released on bail. Hence, in view of these facts and without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, the anticipatory bail application filed on behalf of Randhir Singh @Bau and Dilbagh Singh, is accepted and order dated 11.06.2010 granting interim bail in favour of the petitioner is, hereby, made absolute subject to compliance of conditions specified under Section 438(2) Cr.P.C. The present petition stands disposed of accordingly. ( RAM CHAND GUPTA ) July 20, 2010. JUDGE 'om' 2
