IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT

CHANDIGARH CRM-M-12728-2015(O&M).

Decided on: July 7, 2015.

Mandeep Singh ... Petitioner(s)

VERSUS

State of Punjab ... Respondent(s) * * *

CORAM:

HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE M.M.S. BEDI PRESENT Mr.M.S.Longia, Advocate, for the petitioner.

M.M.S. BEDI, J (ORAL).

This is second petition for the grant of pre-arrest bail on the ground that the offence under Section 326 IPC has been deleted on the basis of medical report available. Counsel for the petitioner has submitted that offence under Section 354 IPC has been added but no offence is made out qua the petitioner so far as the allegations under Section 354 IPC are concerned.

Since none is available on behalf of Advocate General, Punjab, ASI Vijay Kumar present in the Court has informed the Court that Section 326 IPC has actually been deleted and offence under Section 324 IPC has been added. Whether offence under Section 354 IPC is made out against the petitioner appears to be debatable. The said offence prima facie appears to be made out against the father of the petitioner. The petitioner has joined

CRM-M-12728-2015(O&M) investigation.

In view of said circumstances, he can be granted the concession of pre-arrest bail on the basis of changed circumstances.

The petition is allowed. It is ordered that in case of arrest of the petitioner, he shall be released on bail to the satisfaction of the arresting officer subject to the conditions that he will join investigation as and when required and will not tamper with the evidence or hamper investigation, in any manner. He will also not commit the similar offence of which he is accused of during pendency of the trial.

(M.M.S. BEDI) July 7, 2015.
