Present:

Mr. S.C. Arora, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr. Jaspal Singh Guru, AAG, Punjab.

***** RAJBIR SEHRAWAT, J. (ORAL) 1.

The present petition has been filed by the petitioner under Section 439 Cr.P.C for grant of bail pending trial in case FIR No.62 dated 14.04.2023, registered under Section 379-B of IPC at Police Station City, Sri Muktsar Sahib.

2.

It is submitted by the counsel for the petitioner that the case against the petitioner is totally false, frivolous and concocted. The petitioner is not involved in the crime. Further, it is submitted that the incident is alleged to be of 04.04.2023 whereas the FIR was registered on 14.04.2023. Immediately, on the same day, the petitioner was arrested. This only shows the manipulation by the police. Had the incident been true, then the FIR would have been registered on 04.04.2023 only. 3.

On the other hand, learned State Counsel, on instructions from the concerned police official, submits that the petitioner is directly involved ANKUR GOYAL 2023.07.10 13:11 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this order/judgment

CRM-M-29785-2023 --2-- 2023:PHHC:085840 in the crime. The name of the petitioner has been specifically mentioned by the co-accused from whom the snatched material was recovered. Even, the complainant has named the petitioner as the person who was involved in the snatching. Not only that; the petitioner is having another case of similar nature against him. Therefore, he is not entitled to be released on bail. 4.

In view the above, this Court does not find any ground to grant bail pending trial to the petitioner. Therefore, the present petition is dismissed.
