CRM-M No.28614 of 2011(O&M) ::1:: IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH CRM-M No.28614 of 2011 (O&M) Date of decision : 29.09.2011 Santokh Singh @ Sukha ...... Petitioner v. State of Punjab ...... Respondent *** CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE AJAY TEWARI *** Present : Mr. Suveer Sheokand, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Abhishek Chautala, A.A.G., Punjab. *** AJAY TEWARI, J. (Oral) This petition has been filed under Section 438 Cr.P.C. for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioner in case F.I.R. No.132 dated 22.04.2006 registered under Sections 307, 336, 341, 313, 34 IPC and Sections 27, 54 & 59 of the Arms Act at Police Station Sadar Khanna, District Ludhiana. On 21.09.2011 the following contention was noticed:- “Learned counsel has argued that in view of the facts on the record it cannot be said that the petitioner has misused the concession of bail or that the trial has been delayed because of his unauthorised absence and that he is ready to appear and undertakes not to seek exemption in CRM-M No.28614 of 2011(O&M) ::2:: any circumstance in future.” Learned Assistant Advocate General on instructions from ASI Avtar Ali has accepted the fact that the petitioner was granted the concession of regular bail and after that he had moved three consecutive exemption applications which makes his conduct suspicious. In my considered opinion, in view of the undertaking recorded above, the custodial interrogation of the petitioner would not be necessary at this stage. It is informed that the next date fixed before the learned trial Court is 03.10.2011. In the circumstances, without going into the merits of the case, I deem it appropriate to grant the concession of anticipatory bail to the petitioner. Ordered accordingly. Petitioner is directed to appear before the learned trial Court on 03.10.2011 who shall grant him the concession of bail to its satisfaction in view of the undertaking mentioned above subject to the conditions envisaged under Section 438(2) Cr.P.C. Petition stands disposed of. ( AJAY TEWARI ) September 29, 2011 JUDGE ashish
