Hemant Angrish v. State Of Punjab

IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT

CHANDIGARH CRM-M-11558-2016 (O & M) Date of decision: 24.04.2017 Hemant Angrish .... Petitioner V/s State of Punjab

...Respondent(s)

CORAM:

HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJAN GUPTA

Present:

Mr. Manuj Nagrath, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr. V. Ramswaroop, Addl.A.G., Punjab.

***** Rajan Gupta, J. (Oral) This is third petition under Section 438 Cr.P.C. for grant of prearrest bail to the petitioner in case registered against him vide FIR No.75 dated 24.07.2011 under Section 135 of the Electricity Act at Police Station Anti Power Theft, Ludhiana.

Petitioner could not appear before the trial court on three dates of hearing. This court directed the trial court to decide the matter afresh in case petitioner appears before it within 10 days. Thereafter, matter was considered by the trial court and again rejected the plea for bail. It is apparent that there was no fresh application of mind by the court below. Even otherwise, order is not happily worded.
