Versus
State of Punjab – Respondent
JUDGMENT
Anoop Chitkara, J.
| FIR No. | Dated | Police Station | Sections |
| 39 | 24.02.2022 | Division No.5, Ludhiana | 392, 473, 411 IPC and section 25 of Arms Act |
The petitioner apprehending arrest in the FIR captioned above, on the allegations of forcibly taking away Rs.70,000/- at gun point, in association of his accomplices, from the office of Western Union, has come up before this Court under Section 438 CrPC seeking anticipatory bail.
2. The status report mentions a series of offences of robbery. In paragraph 6 of the bail application, the accused declares the following criminal antecedents:
| Sr. No. | FIR No. | Dated | Offences | Police Station |
| 1. | 248 | 30.09.2021 | 61, 78(2), 1 and 14 of Punjab Excise Act | Division No.6, Ludhiana |
3. Petitioner's counsel argued 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. While opposing the bail, State's counsel contends that given the criminal past, the accused is likely to indulge in crime once released on bail.
