IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA

AT CHANDIGARH CRA-S-749-2022 Date of Decision: 28.09.2022 Mahinder Singh ......... Petitioner

Versus

State of Haryana and another ........ Respondents

CORAM:

HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE ANOOP CHITKARA Present:- Ms. Anjali Sheoran, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Rajat Gautam, D.A.G., Haryana.

Mr. Vikram Singh, Advocate for respondent No. 2. **** ANOOP CHITKARA, J. (ORAL) The grievance of the petitioner is that without surrendering respondent No. 2, the concerned Court had granted anticipatory bail to him. Be that as it may, learned counsel for the petitioner submits that even earlier bail was granted to respondent No. 2 without imposing any condition. In the entirety of facts and circumstances, the present petition is partly allowed to the extent that respondent No.

2 shall be bound by following two conditions apart from the conditions already imposed:- (i) Given the nature of allegations and the other circumstances peculiar to this case, the petitioner shall surrender all weapons, firearms, ammunition, if any, along with the arms license to the concerned authority within fifteen days from today and inform the Investigator about the compliance. However, subject to the Indian Arms Act, 1959, the petitioner shall be entitled to renew and take it back in case of acquittal in this case.

(ii) Till the completion of the trial, the petitioner shall not contact, call, text, message, remark, stare, stalk, make any gestures or express any unusual or inappropriate, verbal or otherwise objectionable behavior towards the victim and victim's family, either physically, or through phone call or any other social media, through any other mode, nor shall unnecessarily roam around the victim's home.

If respondent No. 2 fails to comply with these conditions, then on this ground JYOTI 2022.09.30 22:39 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document alone, the bail might be cancelled, and the petitioner may file any such

CRA-S-749-2022 -2application for the cancellation of bail, and State shall file the said application.
