**** INDERJIT SINGH, J.

Petitioner has filed this petition under Section 438 Cr.P.C. for grant of anticipatory bail in case FIR No.293 dated 27.06.2000 under Sections 323, 341, 506 and 34 IPC registered at Police Station Sadar Rajpura, District Patiala.

Notice of motion was issued and learned State counsel appeared and contested the petition but none appeared on behalf of respondents No.2 and 3 despite being served.

Learned counsel for the petitioner argued that petitioner is young man and compromise has already been effected with the private respondents. The offences are bailable. He further argued VINEET GULATI 2015.02.12 10:22 I attest to the accuracy and authenticity of this document Chandigarh

CRM No.M-3609 of 2015 -2that absence of the petitioner was due to the reason that he had gone to foreign country to settle in life. Learned counsel for the petitioner, to support his version that compromise has been effected, also placed on record the order dated 05.02.2015 passed by Hon'ble Coordinate Bench, in which the petitioner was directed to appear before the Illaqa Magistrate to submit application for compounding of offence. I have heard learned counsel for the petitioner as well as learned State counsel and have gone through the record. The parties have already effected the compromise. All the offences are bailable. They are going to file application for compounding of the offence.

Keeping in view the above reasons, nature and gravity of the offence, I find it a fit case where the petitioner is entitled to benefit of grant of anticipatory bail. Therefore, the present petition is allowed. The petitioner is directed to appear before the trial Court within ten days and on doing so, he shall be released on anticipatory bail by the trial Court to its satisfaction.
