REEMA SAINI 2026.09.11 17:31 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document high court chandigarh CRM-M-51530 of 2026(O&M) -2- while others were looting the liquor vend. Custodial interrogation of the petitioner was required to elicit useful information, make discoveries and to effect recovery of sword and looted articles . 5. Petitioner along with two co-accused is alleged to have committed robbery in a liquor vend at village Kharkan in the night of 04/05.07.2026 at 1:00 a.m. Large quantity of liquor, Rs.25/30,000/- cash, mobile phone was looted and CCTV cameras were broken. 6. Power under Section 482 BNSS is extraordinary in nature and cannot be exercised in routine, on mere asking. Concession of pre-arrest bail can be granted only in exceptional circumstances, considering the nature and gravity of accusation, possibility of the applicant fleeing from justice and various other factors. Hence, the Court must exercise restraint and circumspection in such matters. Anticipatory bail cannot be claimed as of right and cannot be granted as a matter of rule, unless a clear case therefor is made out and exceptional circumstances are shown to exist. 7. Recoveries are to be effected and custodial interrogation of the petitioner is necessitated for just, proper and effective investigation to unearth the chain of events leading to commission of offence, identity of co- accused and to elicit useful information. There are no exceptional circumstances made out to extend the benefit of anticipatory bail. Grant of anticipatory bail in cases like the present one would amount to undue interference in the investigation which is not desirable. 8. Without commenting on the merits of the case, the petition for anticipatory bail is dismissed.
