ANOOP CHITKARA
Gurdeep Singh – Appellant
Versus
State Of Punjab – Respondent
JUDGMENT
Anoop Chitkara, J.
FIR No. | Dated | Police Station | Sections |
20 | 01.02.2022 | Jodhewal, Ludhiana | 384, 506 & 120-B IPC |
1. The petitioner apprehending arrest in the FIR captioned above has come up before this Court under Section 438 CrPC seeking anticipatory bail.
2. In paragraph 17 of the petition, it is declared that the accused has no criminal history.
3. Ld. Counsel for the petitioner contends that the custodial investigation would serve no purpose whatsoever, and the pre-trial incarceration would cause an irreversible injustice to the petitioner and family.
4. Ld. counsel appearing for the State opposes the bail.
REASONING:
5. The petitioner is a first offender, and one of the relevant factors would be to provide an opportunity to course-correct. Even a primafacie perusal of paragraphs 5 & 6 of the bail petition needs consideration for bail.
6. In the present case, the maximum sentence imposable for the offences mentioned in FIR does not exceed seven years. Thus, directions passed in Arnesh Kumar v. State of Bihar, (2014) 8 SCC 273, (Para 13), apply to this petition, wherein Hon'ble Supreme Court directed all the State Governments to instruct its police officers not to arrest the accused auto
