Crl. Misc No. M 10206 OF 2011 ****** Prince Kumar vs State of Punjab Present : Mr. Vaneet Sharma, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. S.S.Chandumajra, DAG Punjab ******* The petitioner seeks grant of anticipatory bail in cross case registered under Sections 326/323/34 of the IPC, vide DDR No.18, dated 9.6.2010 in FIR No.76, dated 9.6.2010, registered under Sections 326/323/34 of the IPC, at Police Station Ajnala, District Amritsar. On 5.4.2011, the following contention was noticed :- “ Learned counsel states that in the cross-case the petitioner has been shown to be empty handed.” Counsel for the respondent, on instructions from ASI Darshan Singh, has stated that even though no recovery has to be made from the petitioner, yet he should be directed to join the investigation and that similar opportunity was granted to the petitioner by the learned Sessions Judge, Amritsar and it was only when he did not appear, bail was cancelled. Counsel for the petitioner states that the petitioner will report to the Investigating Officer on 28.4.2011 between 11 am to 4 pm. In the circumstances, I deem it appropriate to grant the concession of anticipatory bail to the petitioner. Consequently, in the event of his arrest, the petitioner shall be released on anticipatory bail by the Investigating Officer to his satisfaction subject to the conditions laid down in Section 438(2) of the Cr.P.C. Petition stands disposed of. ( AJAY TEWARI ) April 20, 2011. JUDGE `kk'
