RAKESH KUMAR JAIN J.(ORAL)
This is a petition under Section 438 Cr.P.C. seeking
anticipatory bail in case FIR No.95 dated 21.6.2008 registered
under Sections 326, 324 and 34 IPC at Police Station City South,
District Moga.
The allegations against the petitioners are that they
have caused injuries to Jagtar Singh and Lakhwinder Singh.
Injury No.1 on the part of Jagtar Singh has been declared grievous
after x-ray report. All the three petitioners actively participated in
the commission of offence. Interim bail was granted by this Court
on 17.4.2009 and the petitioners were directed to join the
investigation. However, the case was adjourned to 10.07.2009. On
10.7.2009, it was found that petitioners have not joined the
investigation, therefore they were again directed to join the
CRM-M-10161 of 2009 (O&M) -2-
investigation and the case was adjourned to 31.7.2009. On
31.7.2009, petitioners were again directed to join the investigation
and the case was adjourned for today.
Today, learned counsel for the State, on instructions
received from HC Kikar Singh, submits that the petitioners have
not joined the investigation.
Learned counsel for the petitioners has also shown his
total ignorance as to whether the petitioners have joined the
investigation or not.
Keeping in view the gravity of offence as well as the
conduct of the petitioners that they are enjoying the concession of
anticipatory bail granted by this Court without joining the
investigation though directed repeatedly, I do not find it to be a fit
case for grant of anticipatory bail. Hence the present petition is
dismissed.
