CRM No. M-2215 of 2009 1 IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATES OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. CRM No. M-2215 of 2009 (O&M) Date of decision: 4.2.2009 Mohd. Sadiq @ Chuchna ...Petitioner Versus State of Punjab ...Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJAN GUPTA Present: Mr. N.K. Verma, Advocate, for the petitioner. Rajan Gupta, J. This is a petition under Section 438 Cr.P.C. for grant of anticipatory bail in a case registered against the petitioner bearing FIR No.223 dated 17th November, 2008, under Section 307 read with Section 34 IPC, at Police Station City Malerkotla, District Sangrur. Learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that the petitioner has been falsely implicated in the case. He has further submitted that no serious injury has been caused in the alleged occurrence and thus the petitioner deserves the concession of anticipatory bail. The injury attributed to the petitioner in the FIR is a Kirpan blow which hit on the head of the complainant, after which he fell down. According to the MLR, Annexure P-1, following injury was sustained by the complainant:- CRM No. M-2215 of 2009 2 “(1) L.W. (3.5 x 0.4) Cm, bone deep, bleeding present on left fronted scalp, about 18 cm above the root of nose and just left to midnight.” I am of the considered view that the petitioner is not entitled to concession of anticipatory bail. The allegations against him in the FIR are serious in nature. Grant of anticipatory bail at this stage is likely to hamper the investigation. Besides, in view of the injury, as described above, caused to the complainant, the contention of the counsel that no serious injury has been caused in the alleged occurrence, is devoid of merit. The petition for anticipatory bail is thus dismissed. (RAJAN GUPTA) JUDGE February 04, 2009 'rajpal'
