Present:

Mr. S.S. Chahal, Advocate for the petitioners. Mr. Harpreet S. Multani, Assistant Advocate General, Punjab **** SURESHWAR THAKUR, J. (ORAL) 1.

The petitioners, by filing the present petition under Section 438 Cr.P.C., seeks grant of anticipatory bail in case FIR No. 387 of 05.12.2021, which was registered against them, at Police Station City Kharar, District SAS Nagar, and, constitutes therein offences under Sections 379-B, 323, 506, 148 & 149 of the IPC.

2.

This Court, through an order made on 13.12.2021, had granted ad interim bail to the bail applicants / petitioners. 3.

The learned State Counsel, on instructions, meted to him, by ASI Surender Singh, submits that, all the relevant recoveries have been effected at the instance of the bail petitioners, to the Investigating Officer (IO) concerned. He further submits that a compromise based quashing petition bearing CRM-M-15236-2022, has been instituted, before this Court, at the instance of the bail petitioners, whereins, the aggrieved-victim has been arrayed as party, and, that the report of the learned Illaqa Magistrate concerned, with respect to the genuineness of the compromise has been asked to be transmitted to this Court on 18.07.2022.

CRM-M No. 51900 of 2021 -24.

Given the above, and, also when no evidence has been adduced by the prosecution, at this stage, suggesting that in the event of the bail applicants being enlarged on anticipatory bail, there is every likelihood of their fleeing from justice, and, or, tampering with prosecution evidence. 5.

Cumulatively, this Court does not deem it fit to order for the custodial interrogation of the bail applicants. Contrarily, this Court is constrained to make absolute the order made by this Court, on 13.12.2021. The other terms and conditions made in the order (supra) shall also be continued to be abided by the petitioners.
