On advance notice, Mr. Amandeep Singh, DAG, Punjab, puts an appearance on behalf of the respondent/State, and Mr. Inderpreet Singh Kooner, Advocate, puts in appearance on behalf of the complainant, and files his power of attorney in Court today, which is taken on record. 5. Learned State counsel, on instructions, informs that there are three injuries as of now, but unable to tell the nature of injuries suffered by the injured. Though, the Doctor of Government Hospital who initiallly examined the injured, referred him to Sector 32, Government Medical College and Hospital, but the injuried preferred to go to some private hospital. The Doctor of the private Hospital has opined two fractures in both the legs. 6. Counsel for the complainant submits that in fact, 15 fractures are suffered in one leg, and more than 10 fractures in the other leg and three serious injuries on the head, also. He also relies upon the CCTV footage, where the petitioner also appears. 7. List again on 21.01.2025. 8. Let the Investigating Officer would remain present along with record, after obtaining necessary opinion from the concerned doctor, on the next date of hearing before this Court.” 2. On 21.01.2025, matter was adjourned for 30.01.2025, and on that day, following order was passed: “Present: Mr. Brijeshwar Singh Bhalla, Advocate for the petitioner(s). Mr. Amandeep S. Samra, AAG, Punjab. Mr. I.S. Cooner, Advocate and Mr. M.P.S. Chahal, Advocate for the complainant. ***** On request of learned State counsel, adjourned to 03.02.2025. 3. Thereafter, on 03.02.2025, following order was passed: Present:Mr. Shivender, Advocate for Mr. Brijeshwar Singh Bhalla, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Amandeep Singh, DAG, Punjab. Mr. I.S. Kooner, Advocate and Mr. M.P.S. Chahal, Advocate for the complainant. *** This is third time when learned counsel representing the petitioner seeks time to ascertain the injuries suffered by the complainant and the medical opinion/report thereof. In the interest of justice, adjourned to 10.02.2025 to enable him to do so. In the meanwhile, the arrest of the petitioner shall remain stayed. However, the petitioner deserves to join RASHMI 2025.04.30 10:32 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document CRM-M-2016-2025 3 investigation or not shall be examined on the next date of hearing after examining the medical report. 4. Today again, no medical report is produced before this Court. Once again, time is sought by learned State counsel. 5. Purely, in the interest of justice, one last opportunity is granted. 6. List on 12.03.2025. Let the complete medical report be produced in Court on the next date of hearing, failing which, the Senior Superintendent of Police, Patiala, shall remain present in Court. Interim order to continue till the next date of hearing only.” 3. Learned State counsel after being confirmed from ASI Baldev Singh, submits that earlier information, stating that there are a total of 15 fractures is, infact, incorrect. However, he submits that nailing of both the legs has been performed which is evident from the medical certificate dated 26.03.2025 prepared by Dr. Kulwinder Singh Shah, JP Hospital, Zirakpur. He further points out that both legs were fractured and since name of the petitioner and the allegation of breaking both legs is already there in FIR, he does not deserve the concession of anticipatory bail 4. I have examined the allegations and find that there is a direct allegation naming the petitioner of assaulting the complainant, Daljit Singh and as per the medical certificate, both the legs of the complainant were fractured. Subsequently, the legs were operated on and nailing was done. Therefore, no ground for anticipatory bail is made out, accordingly present petition is dismissed. 25.04.2025 (SANJAY VASHISTH) rashmi JUDGE Whether Speaking/Reasoned: YES/NO Whether Reportable: YES/NO RASHMI 2025.04.30 10:32 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document
