$ !& Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that in the instant case, alleged recovery of 3 Redmi Note 8 mobile phones have been shown qua him with the allegation that they tried to snatch the motor-cycle as well. In fact in the FIR, three persons were named as an accused namely, Partap Singh, Paramjit Singh and present petitioner-Gurpreet Singh but there is a delay of 17 days in reporting the case to the police as alleged occurrence took place on 21.03.2023 and was reported on 06.04.2023 to which no plausible explanation has been putforth by the complainant. It is also asserted on behalf of the petitioner that he has been falsely implicated in the case just to intact their record that such complaints have been addressed by the police since he is involved in other multiple cases
and in those cases also, he is on bail.
Mr. Verma, on the other hand, has furnished the copy of the custody certificate, which is taken on record who asserts for dismissal of the present petition stating that the petitioner is an habitual offender and he is involved in multiple other cases, as has been detailed in the custody certificate, to be precise four in total but could not deny the factum that the petitioner is on bail on all those cases except in one FIR No.8 dated 17.03.2023 which is also of identical nature under Sections 379-B(2), 341, 506, 148 and 149 IPC read with Sections 25, 27, 54 and 59 of the Arms Act, Police Station Mattewal, District Amritsar.
To counter the aforesaid assertions, learned counsel for the petitioner has produced a copy of the order granting regular bail by the trial Court, dated 19.07.2023 but submit that he could not be released on bail for lack of furnishing surety bonds and personal security. Be that as it may, another averment made in the petition is in Para 14 wherein the petitioner has stated that his wife is on family way and expecting her delivery on 26.08.2023 as this petition is pending before this Court since 21.08.2023 but the same is pending for adjudication. Considering the aforesaid facts "
