Notice of motion.

Mr. Rohit Hans, DAG, Punjab accepts notice on behalf of the State and submits that the allegations against the petitioner are very serious. He further contends that custodial interrogation of the petitioner would be necessary as the weapon used in the offence i.e. the country-made pistol is still to be recovered from or at the instance of the petitioner. Hence, he prays for dismissal of the application.

Heard.

In light of the above and keeping in view the serious allegations levelled against the petitioner as well as the specific stand taken by the State Counsel with regard to recovery of weapon of offence to be made from the petitioner, this Court does not find sufficient grounds to grant the concession of anticipatory bail to the petitioner at this stage. Dismissed.
