In the High Court of Punjab and Haryana at Chandigarh ...... Criminal Misc. No.M-31115 of 2010 ..... Date of decision:27.10.2010 Harinder Singh .....Petitioner v. State of Punjab .....Respondent .... Present: Mr. Narinder Lucky, Advocate for the petitioner. ..... S.S. Saron, J. The petitioner earlier filed Criminal Misc. No.M-25248 of 2009 for the grant of pre-arrest bail and in the said case after arguing sometime, learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that he may be allowed to withdraw the same. The petition was accordingly dismissed as withdrawn vide order dated 14.9.2009. The petitioner then filed Criminal Misc. No.M- 31123 of 2009 which was dismissed by order dated 11.11.2009. It was observed that the injuries attributed to the petitioner with sword were on the head and right hand of the injured. This, it was observed, clearly indicated that the petitioner had repeated sword blows on the person of the injured. Besides, one injury was on the head of the injured, the weapon of the offence, it was observed, was still to be recovered. The petitioner has now filed the present petition stating that now the offences under Sections 307, 382, 427 and 506 IPC have been dropped against him and after detailed investigation challan has been prepared for the offences under Sections 452, 324, 323, 148 and 149 IPC Criminal Misc. No.M-31115 of 2010 [2] and only offence under Sections 452 and 324 IPC are non-bailable whereas others are bailable. After giving my thoughtful consideration to the matter, it may be noticed that the petitioner along with others came armed in the shop of the complainant Ramesh Kumar on 12.7.2009. Earlier on 10.7.2009, some persons had damaged the shop of Suresh Kumar, brother of the complainant Ramesh Kumar. They had caused injuries to Suresh Kumar and to his son Puneet. Regarding the said incident, a case was registered. Then 10/12 persons came on 12.7.2009. The petitioner was armed with a sword whereas others were armed with swords, takuas, baseball bats and hockey sticks. The petitioner said that the complainant had given witness in respect of the incident that occurred on 10.7.2009. After saying this all started beating the complainant. The petitioner gave 2-3 blows with his sword on the head of the complainant but he saved himself. He had given a sword blow and in defence the complainant raised his hand and the sword hit on his right hand. Others also hit him with hockey sticks. The petitioner is one of the main accused in the case. Besides, his application for pre-arrest bail has been declined twice earlier, though on one occasion it was dismissed as withdrawn after arguing for sometime. In the facts and circumstances, no ground for grant of pre-arrest bail is made out and the criminal miscellaneous petition is accordingly dismissed. October 27, 2010. (S.S. Saron) Judge amit
