FIR merely for the addition of the offence punishable under
Section 354 IPC.”

Petitioner stated to be young boy aged nineteen years, is submitted

to be falsely implicated in this case. It is further submitted that no action has

been taken by the police authorities against the complainant and others in respect

to the injuries received by the petitioner’s mother, sister and wife. Reference is

made to Annexures P2 to P4. It is submitted that the petitioner has joined

investigation and he undertakes to face the proceedings and not misuse the

concession of anticipatory bail, if afforded to him. Therefore, it is prayed that

this petition be allowed.

Learned counsel for the State, on instructions from HC Kuldeep

Singh, verifies that the petitioner has joined investigation. It is submitted that

the medico legal reports (Annexures P2 to P4) indicate that the medical

examination was conducted at 5.50 p.m. whereas, the occurrence in question is

alleged to have taken place in the afternoon of 09.07.2017, thus no action has

been taken thereon. However, it is not denied that FIR in question was

registered at 5.45 p.m. It is verified by learned counsel for the State that the

petitioner is not involved in any other criminal case. No recovery is to be

effected from him. Two of the five accused have been granted the concession of

bail pending trial and another two have been afforded the concession of

anticipatory bail.

There are no allegations on behalf of the State that the petitioner is

likely to abscond or that he is likely to dissuade the witnesses from deposing true

facts in the Court, if released on bail.
